President-elect Joe Biden has a daunting to-do list as he prepares to take the oath of office next month, much of it focused domestically. But there was a reminder this past week that among the problems dumped in his lap by President Donald Trump is a world that questions whether the United States is willing and prepared to lead abroad.

A tarnishing of America's international image has been a constant almost from the day Trump was sworn in four years ago. But 2020 could be the worst yet in terms of how people in other countries perceive the United States as a leader in the world.

The Gallup organization conducts annual surveys assessing how others assess U.S. leadership. In 20 of 29 countries where Gallup has completed these surveys, approval ratings "are at new lows or they tie the previous low," according to the report released last week. Among the countries where approval hit new lows are two of the nation's staunchest allies, Germany and Britain.

Four years ago, before Trump became president, 43% of Germans had a positive impression of the United States as a leader in the world. Today just 6% approve. In the United Kingdom, 15% say they approve. More Russians - 18% - approve of American leadership internationally than Brits or Germans.
