Most widely hated countries on earth

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Has to be Russia currently surely?

Obviously the US as the biggest, most powerful nation in the world will always attract a lot of resentment

I suspect Russia isn't that high in the world at-large, but in the West, it certainly is up there.

Russia certainly doesn't look like it's first.
EDIT: Actually, scratch that. Hate is different from disapproval and the depth of the dislike for Russia is likely high enough now that it overtakes anti-Americanism outside the West.

The poll was about whether people wanted their governments to cut ties with or sanction Russia, not whether they liked it or not. I suspect most of the people who dislike the US, for instance, do not want economic sanctions placed on all goods or services coming from the US.

Interesting.
Thanks for the info.
I felt it was a bit weird how deep red (parts of) the Third World was...or how dark green India (the subcontinent) was.

Surely - not. In the West - yes, but worldwide (given that "the West" is about 1/7 or 1/6 of world population) - much more people hates US then Russia. And US role as a "West (with claims to "world") leader" only increases this number..

Is this measuring attitudes towards Pakistan? China?

Opinion of the United States, actually.

A bit surprised Japan isn't even deeper blue. I've only came across a few Japanese people online who hate America.

Well, if you add China, Indonesia, Pakistan and Russia - it's already about 2 billion people. And no data for a LOT of big countries - it could easily go to 4 billion... Add to this, that vast majority of "third world" people doesn't know or desn't care about Russia - Ukraine conflict, and thus - does NOT hates Russia because of it, and - .....

Eh. If you look at the general trends in Africa I see no reason that the others would be any different.

Not impossible a not-insignificant number of Africans approve of both America and Russia.
