The map above shows which countries Americans consider their allies and friends and those they consider unfriendly or even their enemy.

The data is based off a YouGov poll conducted between January 28 – February 1, 2017, which asked 7,150 adults living in the United States the question:

“Do you consider the countries listed below to be a friend or an enemy of the United States?”

 

Reddit user ShilohShay explains that:

For the purpose of extrapolating more interesting data from the poll, I only added a country to “Don’t Know” in this map if 50% or more of Americans picked that option. Otherwise I went with the plurality opinion.

Top 10 US Allies were:

1. Canada


2. Australia


3. UK


4. France


5. Italy


6. Ireland


7. Israel


8. Norway


9. Sweden


10. Germany

Top 10 US Enemies were:

1. North Korea


2. Iran


3. Syria


4. Iraq


5. Afghanistan


6. Russia


7. Libya


8. Somalia


9. Pakistan


10. Palestine

While many of the enemies are the ones you’d expect, only 11% of Americans consider China their enemy and just 9% consider Cuba their enemy.
