Skybird, if its any consolation to you, while according to the Pew findings only half of Germans believe their country is generally liked, in fact 77% in Canada and Spain, 88% in the Netherlands, and fully 89% in France have a favourable opinion of Germany. Six in ten Americans also view Germany favourably.

You Germans are too hard on yourselves.

On the other side of the coin, I think us Canadians may be a trifle optimistic - 94% of Canadians believe our country is well-liked by other nations.
