Which Countries do Americans Love and Hate?

Polling Question: I’d like to get your feelings about some countries and governing organizations who have been in the news and what sort of a relationship you feel they have with the United States. I’ll read the name of a country or governing organizations and I’d like you to rate how much of a friend or foe they are to the U.S. using the feeling thermometer. You can choose any number between 0 and 100. The higher the number, the warmer or more friendly you feel they are to the U.S. The lower the number, the colder or less friendly they are. If we come to a country or governing organization who you haven’t heard enough about to form an opinion, you don’t need to rate them. Just tell me and we’ll move on to the next one…
