the British Publics view of America in 2007

My article is not necessarily about policies of America but the growing animosity felt by the General public that may effect our relationship with the Worlds Superpower.

The article tracks the British Public opinion of America, and so shows that there is a 52% of the public that have a negative view of America. Which is not surprisingly beaten by Israel, however, Russia did not have such a negative view. This may be as America is always in the forfront of our minds and daily lives, yet Russia is not. The same can be said for China.
The reason this particular article caught my eye was because some politicians are driven by the Publics Opinions. By the public viewing the United States as a "Villian", those politicians find it hard to make a case for American Foreign Policy. Many of this Countrys politicians are now "apparently" driven by the public opinion, America may lose some of its sway with us as a country.
So although the article is not particulary about Americas Policies, but instead our view of them. The whole fact that Britain is turning against the Greatest Country, holds some importance of opinion against the America view and way of life.
The paragraph that paints Gordon Brown as a bit of a Hero, did make me chuckle. Alot. Seriously.
