Donald Trump's popularity in the U.K. remains far, far lower than Barack Obama's TrumpUKVisit
United Kingdom residents have an overwhelmingly unfavorable view of President Donald Trump, with recent polls showing only 21 percent of Great Britain having a positive opinion of the United States leader.
The YouGov survey data reveals only 21 percent of U.K. residents had a positive opinion of Trump, compared to Obama, who had a staggering 72 percent favorable rating. Data collected in 2018 from the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Survey found Trump does have the support of several right-wing populist parties across Great Britain. The United Kingdom Independence Party showed a majority, 53 percent, expressed confidence in the U.S. president. Trump's approval among the overall U.K. population found his favorability has actually increased from the start of his presidency in 2016, according to Pew.
On Monday, Trump and First Lady Melania met with Queen Elizabeth II on the first day of their state visit to the country Monday. The president managed to insult London Mayor Sadiq Khan just minutes before Air Force One touched down in the U.K., referring to the local politician and Trump critic as a"stone cold loser."
