A new Pew Research survey has found that Joe Biden's global perception is generally favorable - but most abroad disapprove of how the president has handled Israel's war in Gaza.

According to survey results released on Tuesday, a median of 43% across 34 countries have confidence in Biden to do the right thing" regarding world affairs. However, a median of 57% across 34 countries disapprove of Biden's approach to the war in the Middle East, where, according to estimates, Israeli forces have killed more than 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza in response to the 7 October attack by Hamas that killed 1,200 Israelis and took hostages.
