World leaders rising in polls as they fight Donald Trump

The Canada Liberal Party Party faced a humiliating loss in the next elections. Then came Donald Trump.

The contenders for party leaders argued to display the force against the American president, his prices and his desire to take over Canada – And the ratings of liberals’ surveys began to increase. Under the new Prime Minister Mark Carney, with the slogan “Canada Strong”, the party is now a narrow favorite to win a fourth historic quarter.

The former governor of the Bank of England has become emblematic of the world leaders benefiting from a hill bump after facing Trump.

The survey in several countries, from Mexico to Ukraine, shows that even unpopular leaders like France Emmanuel Macron benefit from a certain relief from voters while they seek to keep threats away, especially priceThe withdrawal of military support and even the threat of the American conquest.

“You have this tyrant who breaks the system,” said Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome. “Rather than kissing the ring, these leaders get up and politely say” no “, and their voters appreciate the fact that they are not colonized.”

Canada

Carney followed his predecessor Justin Trudeau by adopting a pugnacious approach to Trump threats. Trump “wants us to break so that America can own us. We will not let it happen,” said Prime Minister called the next elections For April 28.

Carney, 60, who headed the BOE and the Bank of Canada, praising his technocratic experience and his status as a political foreigner while leading a wave of anger and patriotism to advance before Pierre Hairyvre, the chief of the conservative opposition.

Hairyvre, a darling aligned by Trump of the right of Maga, had channeled the discontent of the cost of living under Trudeau in a 24 -point survey led before the beginning of January. This collapsed following the Trump assault.

The career politician Poilievre tries to reframe his story, transforming his slogan “Canada Is Broken” in “Canada first”.

But Carney has the momentum: 43% of Canadians think it is best placed to face Trump, against 34% for Hairyvre, an Angus Reid Institute survey found this month.

Mexico

Mexico leftist president Claudia Sheinbaum was to face Trump on his threats of military action against cartels and prices on Mexican exports to the United States.

But the first woman leader in the country won applause for a fresh head approach, delaying reprisal measures and moving to suppress migration and fentanyl traffic.

Trump himself was efficient, calling Sheinbaum “a wonderful woman”, while his already high approval notes climbed 85%, according to the newspaper El Financialo.

Sheinbaum’s approach “strengthens her and gives him someone with a strong personality,” said Francisco Abundis of Pollter Parametria.

Even Sheinbaum’s criticisms praise his skillful diplomacy, although many argue that the US private sector was Trump’s main convincing force to delay the prices – while Canada’s confrontation has obtained almost exactly the same affair Mexico.

Analysts say that the survey of the survey and Trump’s threat could help Sheinbaum divert bad economic news and compete in his fraities. “Trump is a boon to justify an underperformative economy,” said Carlos Ramírez, consultant at Integrie.

Until now, no leader has paid a major price at the national level for resisting Trump – even Gustavo Petro in Colombia, who was forced to receive a pitch plan from the United States Expelled from the United States after rejected them.

“He turned it as: here is what dignity looks like is what the Colombians look like when they defend themselves,” said Sergio Guzmán of Consultancy Colombia Risk Analysis.

Ukraine

Ukrainians have rallied President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the weeks following Trump assailed He in a bruised oval meeting.

“We can hate him. We can be hard for him. But he is our president,” Olena Hauushka said kyiv’s non -profit international center for the Ukrainian victory.

Zelenskyy’s overall approval rating has reached 67% while its net approval is 38% – the highest scores since December 2023 – even if it seeks to repair relations by accepting Trump of Trump Deal Minerals and partial truce of 30 days.

Trump’s comments were considered “unfair, A stab on the back“And” a broader attack on the country, rather than simple criticism targeting the president, “said Anton Hrushevsky of the kyiv International Sociology Institute.

The crash poses a dilemma for the opposition groups that seek to avoid storing with Trump. Even former President Petro Poroshenko, which Zelenskyy sanctioned last month, ceased to repeat Trump’s assertion that the chief of Ukraine is a dictator.

The duration of the popularity of Zelenskyy could largely depend on the trajectory of war and the results of peace negotiations.

“When people see Zelenskyy resisting assault, they trust him more; but when we have a healthier relationship with partners, they start to focus more on internal issues,” said Hrushevsky.

France

Emmanuel Macron, president of Franceshowed his diplomatics in Washington last month when he combined Trump’s flattery with sweet refutations of false claims that Europe supports Ukraine only by loans.

Although his work to strengthen kyiv’s support was defeated by the breakdown of Zelenskyy the following week, the visit won the French president Plaster across Europe. This also brought an increase in surprise survey in France, where voters have long criticized Macron’s perceived arrogance and unpopular policies such as pension reforms.

Confidence in Macron has climbed 6 percentage points to 27% in an Elabe survey this month, after having increased 3 points in February. Although its global popularity remains low, the Boost returns Macron to similar levels after the Paris Olympic Games last summer.

Meanwhile, the far right chief Marine Le Pen, who tried to maintain Trump’s distance, saw her approval slide 1 point to 35%.

Elsewhere in Europe, the arrival of Trump took place differently – especially in countries geographically closer to Russia. “We have not seen the Trump Bump in Eastern Europe,” said former Lithuanian Minister for Foreign Affairs Gabrielius Landsbergis.

“I see more reluctance in criticizing the United States, because our security depends so much on them and the solidarity of NATO. I hear a frightened silence while our security guarantor realign with our enemies. ”

UNITED KINGDOM

Sir Keir Starmer’s survey notes were on a relentless descent path since he entered 10 Downing Street last July. This suddenly changed when he went to Washington last month.

Starmer gave a masterclass in Buttering up TrumpTransmitting a letter from King Charles who offered the president a second “incredible” state visit while delivering key messages and politely pushing when he is disputed.

Trump opened the possibility of sparing Great Britain of the worst of his prices and approved a controversial agreement involving a shared military base in Mauritius.

A few days later, Starmer summoned the leaders of a “coalition of willingly” in London to help get a future Peace in Ukraine. After the self -imposed marginalization of Brexit, Great Britain – and Starmer – seemed to be at the center of the world scene.

Opinion polls have shown a two -digit increase in Starmer and even the right press said it was Prime Minister’s best week – although its approval notes remain deep in a negative territory.

Although the British economy is mired in weak growth and trembling public finances, Starmer hopes that it has at least obtained a new audience.

The leaders will seek to rely on their growing popularity, but Trump could still distribute devastating price or force Ukraine to accept the conditions of Russia. Damage resulting in their savings and safety could make any survey much more difficult to maintain.
