A Pew Research Center survey of 5,193 U.S. adults in Sept 2026 measured ‘‘feeling thermometer’’ scores for 18 G20 members. Americans feel warmest toward Australia, Canada, Japan and Italy (mid‑to‑high 60s), are most negative toward Russia (average 27) and give China and Saudi Arabia poor ratings (37 and 36). The data show consistent partisan and age differences and small shifts over recent years.
