More than half of the French, Germans, and Britons (59%) call Donald Trump a "dictator", with this opinion shared by 47% of respondents in Poland.

Only 9% said they felt less sympathy towards him. Only a quarter of the French continue to see the US as their ally, with a majority of them (57%) experiencing difficulties in describing their relations and are willing to recognize the possibility of a reduction in the alliance.
