I couldn’t find any justification for their picking those countries (maybe they’re the only countries that let the Pew Research Center establish any presence). And their methodology seems to suffer similar biases these kinds of wide opinion polls typically do (e.g. if you don’t answer the phone or agree to talk to weird strangers you’re not counted), which typically skew towards older conservatives who are sitting at home. Sample sizes also leave a lot to be desired.
Not to say this data is entirely inaccurate, but as with like 90% of these studies, they leave so much statistically uncertain that it’s borderline meaningless.
was curious , so I looked at polish sources and found a report by a fucking government agency which gives lower numbers than they do . (note , that this is from 2022 , though in their article on poland the same year paw research gave a even more optimistic 91 % fraction of positive views of the US) their numbers are at 53 % positive 33 % neutral or indeterminate and 5 % negative .
Luna oi! (Vietnamese youtuber) did a video on a ““statistic”” by the Pew Research Center saying something like “95% of Vietnamese like capitalism!”
obviously misinformation, but she went ahead and translated the original Vietnamese question in English as something like “do you think the Doi Moi reforms were beneficial to Vietnam?”. which like jfc of course they were lol
Source missing from that post, but it’s from the Pew Research Center.
