U.S. Reputation Slowly Recovers
“The United States had one of the most notable declines on overall NBI in 2020, dropping from sixth in 2019 to 10th. Its fall was triggered by sharp decreases on Governance, Tourism, and Immigration and Investment. A year later, despite the pandemic still being very much prevalent in the U.S., a wide political divide in society, and persistent vaccine hesitancy, the United States reputation has begun to rebound and improved on each of these categories.” — Ipsos Nation Brands Index 2021
Fieldwork was conducted from July through August 2021. See the press release and report here.
