WASHINGTON: The global image of America has slipped further, even among people in some countries closely allied with the US, a new opinion poll has found. Favourable views of the US dropped sharply over the past year in Spain, where only 23% said they had a positive opinion, down from 41% last year.

Other countries where positive views dropped include India (56 %, down from 71%); Russia (43%, down from 52 %); and Indonesia (30%, down from 38&%). In Turkey, only 12% has favourable opinion.
