POLL FINDS HIGH LEVEL OF TRUST IN UN AND NGOS; CONTINUED DISCONTENT WITH US June 4, 2004 - A recent poll conducted by GlobeScan and the Program on International Policy Attitudes found that 59% of those polled worldwide trust that the United Nations "operates in the best interests" of their societies. Even with the current war in Iraq and the negative shadow that the Bush administration has cast on the lack of UN support, 64% of Americans polled also trust that the UN is working in the US' best interest. NGOs came in at the top of the list in terms of public trust. In fact, worldwide, NGOs earned the trust of 65% of those polled. Of the 20 nations included in the poll, Turkey was the only nation where the level of trust for NGOs fell below 50%. The United States average of trust for NGOs actually topped the worldwide average, coming in at 66%. This poll is reaffirms findings of an earlier poll by The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press that there is growing discontent worldwide with United States' policies. The results of the PIPA/GlobeScan poll show that only 37% of those polled worldwide think that the United States is having a positive influence on the world. In a fifth of the countries polled, the United States received less than a 20% approval rating. This can be contrasted to the 67% of Americans that believe the United States is having a positive influence on the world.
