Eighty-four percent of South Koreans view the United States favorably, a slight increase over last year, a survey showed Wednesday.
Worldwide, South Koreans have the third-highest favorability toward the U.S. after the Philippines at 92 percent and Ghana at 89 percent, according to the Pew Research survey conducted on 45,435 people in 39 countries between March and May.
Koreans' favorability toward the U.S. hit 58 percent in 2000 before falling to 46 percent in 2003. The figure rose to 58 percent in 2007, 79 percent in 2010 and 82 percent last year before inching up to 84 percent this year.
By age, Koreans aged between 19-29 had a 92 percent U.S. favorability rating, while those age 30-49 polled at 80 percent and those 50 or older at 84 percent.
In other countries, U.S. favorability stood at 81 percent in Israel, 78 percent in Vietnam, 68 percent in Japan, 65 percent in Britain and 63 percent in Australia. (Yonhap)
