The British Broadcasting Corporation has just announced its results of a survey in which more than 28,000 people were polled in regards to their opinions and attitudes towards thirteen major countries around the world. The results are not startling due to so many countries currently pursuing military power around the world.
It should be noted that 1,000 people in other popular countries like the US, France, Germany, India, Egypt, Turkey, and Mexico were also involved in the survey.
Israel is at present the least popular country in the world with a 56% negativity rating, while Canada ranks as the most popular with a positive percentage rating of 54%. Other rankings include the US and Russia in unpopular eight and ninth places with Japan, the EU and Canada rounding off the top three most popular countries in the world. India also deserves mention as this and similar polls show that the country is steadily improving its popularity around the world.
13 Countries Ranked by Public Opinion
1. Canada
2. Japan
3. EU
4. France
5. Great Britain
6. China
7. India
8. USA
9. Russia

hahah yo same! thats why i searched most popular country too.. CANADA IS THE BESTTT. especially after the 2010 Olympic Games.. were the perfetct country.
PHILIPPINES SHOULD BE ON THE FIRST PLACE
GO! PHILIPPINES GO!
true
The Phillipines is NOT that well known.. It wouldnt even be in top 10 !
Shut up kid
i never know why they say great britain? it should be either scotland, england, N. ireland or wales.
thats 4 different countries, and to be honest quite different countries
sorry to contradict, but United Kingdom is country, the four mentioned in your comment are constitutent countries. They should have United Kingdom instead though.
I think India should be there among top 3 most popular countries. It has a rich history, interesting present and bright future. Again it’s among best tourist destination in world.
Yep You Are very right
USA all the way it should be number one and france should be last…
yep yep yep
EU is not a country. It is made up of countries
And France & GB ARE in the EU
yes,they are France and Great Britian are in the EU
but GB is not in the EU. They still use the british pound sterling for money, not eu's system. I am not sure if that keeps them out of the eu but I think they have more sense then to become a sister country. Am I wrong?
Yes, you're wrong. It's been a member since 1973.
India is the most popular country.. it is surrounded by indian ocean,arabian sea and bay of bengal.. Greenish land and peoples with nice character.. They have their own culture.. very good places in and around India.. I LOVE INDIA..
hey, how can you say india is the most popular?
your just saying it has beautiful sceneries….
your not explaining why its popular….go figure………
India is the second most popular country in the world
1. USA (This is where I am right now)
2. Canada
3. UK
4. China
5. Mexico
6. Japan
7. Paris
8. Philippines (This is where I live right now)
9. Saudi Arabia
10. Australia
Paris is not a country…
but yes i agree with you that U.S. is the first one:)
Canada would NOT be #2
Uk would deffinatly be before Canada ! So would quite a few countrys !
Ahahaha Paris is a Capital.. Not a country
Canada?
Too cold, not enough great beaches. New Zealand is the thinking person’s Canada.
Obviously never been to Canada
HAHA, ever been to Canada?
I live in Toronto and went down to Florida for a week during the summer and it was colder in Miami then it was in Toronto.
Nice try, though.
is pakistan popular in the world??? plz answer me
well its the # 1 in muslim population
Well, it is popular, in some good ways, such as monuments etc. but it seems like the international news gives Pakistan a negative impression, but dont worry about it!
i think pakistan is the most popular country of the world..no need of survey or any thing..its fact…
and obviously uneducated too. You got by with this statement for 94 weeks. The ONLY way Pakistan would be number one is if you paid no attention to surveys and peoples opinions. Pakistan is nice in some area's, beautiful country, has some nice people but also a lot of radicals that would like to set off Pakistan's nuke.
GO GREAT BRITAN!!!!!!!!!!!
They should have come first place especially with all of the exiciting things going on.
We have Port Lyme, Howletts, Lego land, Woodlands, Kidz Planet, Lazer gun and loads more. Plus unlike Canada we have a range of weather not just hot. We should have more guests. Choose GREAT BRITAN for your next holiday. We’re GREAT like it says in our name. GO GREAT BRITAN!!!!!
Pihilippines should be in the top 10
Just because Philipines is your country or you like it.. Does not make it #1
I just want to mention, that Germany has been voted most popular country this month. According to BBC World Service survey: 1. Germany 2. Canada 3. Great Britain 6. France 11. USA.
China, Russia, Israel, Pakistan and Iran were positioned on the last few ranks.
13575 people from 21 countries were asked.
is UK in the most popular country ? anyways … GO UK GO !!!!!!!
I would say so because the ENGLISH Language is spoken in countrys All over the world !
haha nice one sugar “Plus unlike Canada we have a range of weather not just hot”. Canada, especially calgary where i live, has a ridiculous range of weather. the summer is anywhere from 0 to 40 and in the winter is from 15 to -35. i just thought that was a pretty funny comment.
GO FRANCE! MOST POPULAR COUNTRY IS FRANCE! FRANCE PWWN

4. Austria
5. USA
6. Spain
Japan is great country. such as technology. they so polite
What is the gauge for a country to be popular? In what aspect should it be to be the top? There are a lot to mention especially big and dominating countries. But if you choose serene and hospitality you should go see the “Pearl of the Orient”…

philippines should belong into the list because for me a country will not be famous only because that country is wealthy,powerful and rich in heritage, the thing should be consider in selecting is that it should posses a a good and respective people because the people themselves represents their country…
yes, i admit philippines is not that rich nor known into the world but the only thing we, filipinos can show is that were humble, talented and god fearing people, family is the important thing in our lives, we worked abroad because its for our own family good,and if problems comes in our way we simply laugh about it and solve it w/ the help of people around us, some country may criticize us, but we filipinos stand up whatever they might say to us..

philippines should be number 1 bcoz we are responsible persons and we are willing to become a professionals….and for me i didnt mean that we are the most richest country we are trying our best to do our jobs…and we are a god fearing we had a fear in god ofcourse…and really we tried our best to be a good persons and responsible i admit that filipinos are good persons and responsible even those countries who didnt respect the housemades they still pray in god that those persons will have to respect them….We didn’t mind if the other person will says that the filipinos are poor,lonely bcoz they are away of their families….But if we search the most poorest country we are happy that we are not included to the top 10 poorest…other filipinos are close the american girls they still become friends now….. NEVER MIND but for us we still believe that filipino will survive all the problems in life GO PHIlippines just search OFW or PHILIPPINES in this Website http://en.wikipedia.org they say that filipinos are Responsible and brain drain WE ARE SO PROUD…
Each year, more than a million Filipinos leave to work abroad through overseas employment agencies and other programs, including government sponsored ones. Others emigrate and become permanent residents of other countries. Overseas Filipinos often work as doctors, physical therapists, nurses, accountants, IT professionals, engineers, architects,[4] entertainers, technicians, teachers, military servicemen, students, caregivers, domestic helpers and household maids.
The exodus includes an increasing number of skilled workers taking on unskilled work overseas, resulting in what has been referred to as a brain drain, particularly in the health and education sectors. Also, the exodus can result in underemployment, for example, in cases where doctors undergo retraining to become nurses.
India is the not most popular but its most loved country by people around the world because indians love peace and are extremly caring !!!! i love my india from my heart!!
