8. Egypt
This is a classic case of the people not in sync with their government. Both Egypt and the U.S. have been trade partners and allies (fighting terrorism together in the Middle East) for years and members of the same global organizations (UN, IMF, WTO), but still, 58 percent of Egyptians disapprove of the leadership of the U.S. Egypt is the most populous country in the Arab world, so it’s troubling to have such a lack of support from a key ally. To make matters worse, the newly elected government has not received much support from the U.S. In fact, the U.S. has cut aid to the country, possibly resulting in further disapproval.
