Let's take some of that mojo to Congress tonight Mr President.
President Barack Obama has made significant strides toward repairing America’s strained relationship with Europe, according to an annual transatlantic survey.
Among Europeans, 41 percent — double the number in 2008 — believe that transatlantic ties have improved over the past year and 31 percent of Americans believe the same, triple the amount from one year ago.
Seventy-seven percent of Europeans supported Obama’s handling of foreign policy, a stark contrast to European perceptions of President George W. Bush’s approach. In 2008, just 19 percent approved of Bush’s handling of international affairs. During the Bush years, disagreements over the Iraq War resulted in record-low European public opinion toward America.
“The Obama bounce is huge,” said Zsolt Nyiri, director of the Transatlantic Trends survey.
