"Overall, views of Putin have remained largely negative across the 35 countries polled"73 percent of respondents lacked confidence in the Russian leader "to do the right thing regarding world affairs," Pew reported.

Confidence in the Russian leader fell in a number of countries in the Global South, including in India, the Philippines, Turkey, Ghana, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.

Pew previously told Newsweek that in Europe, those with favorable views of a right-wing populist party saw Russia and Putin more positively than those with unfavorable views of such parties."
