American favorability ratings for Britain and Canada each dropped approximately eight to nine points over the past 12 months through February. Despite these declines, both countries maintain overwhelmingly positive ratings among Americans overall. Republicans experienced the most dramatic shifts, with Canadian favorability falling from 85% to 62% and British favorability dropping to 64%, marking record lows. Independents also showed declining views, with British favorability reaching a new low of 72% and Canadian favorability falling to 80%. Democrats remain strongly supportive, with 95% viewing Canada favorably and 89% viewing Britain positively. Japan and Italy rank highest in American favorability, with Canada tied with Denmark for third place. Diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and both nations, including tariff disputes and disagreements over military involvement, contributed to these declining ratings.
