So they don't all hate us :) also the most popular country has come a long way in 60 years.
Those with the most positive views of the UK were the US, at 80%, followed by Australia at 79% and Canada at 69%.
Germany was the most positively viewed nation overall, with 63% of those surveyed rating its influence as positive.

    I wonder if Jeremy Clarkson is to blame for the negative Mexican view ;)

    You shouldn't talk about Ireland like that. Besides. England is almost as bad.
