#6 European Union

Whatever troubles dog the Eurozone, most people around the world still hold a positive view of the European Union. The EU enjoyed a one percent gain over last year (when it hit its lowest level since the survey began) to reach a 49 percent favorability rating, while negative views of the EU's influence dipped one percent. However, despite the rebound, the EU saw steep declines in favorability among Germans, Egyptians, Canadians and Americans. (AP Photo)
