Vichy France still less popular than Nazi Germany

For the record, the only Poles I trust are in Warsaw and Chicago. But, if you do believe in these polls, I find this pretty interesting.

The Gallup poll also measured whether people viewed other countries favorably or unfavorably.

Seventy-nine percent of the poll respondents saw Germany in a favorable light, with only 15 percent unfavorable. Only half viewed Germany favorably in 2003.

France has rebounded nicely with a 54 percent favorable rating compared with only 34 percent having a favorable view just before the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which France strongly opposed. Forty percent of Americans now have an unfavorable view of France.

I wonder if it has more to do with a greater number of German Americans or that everybody hates a cheese eating surrender monkey.
