Catalan Survey Finds U.S. Sympathy Drops Below China as EU Remains Top-Rated

Fieldwork in late 2025 underpins findings widely linked to President Donald Trump’s first year.

Overview

  • The CEO’s 2025 wave scores the United States at 3.7 out of 10, China at 4.7, and the European Union at 6.5.
  • The longitudinal survey polled 6,706 residents from October to December 2025, preceding the Iran war and Nicolás Maduro’s capture.
  • Concern about being affected by an international armed conflict stands at 6.6 out of 10, broadly stable versus 2023.
  • Russia is rated at 2.6, with coverage noting only a slight uptick from the prior year.
  • Respondents overestimate the foreign-born share (36% perceived vs. 25% actual), and positivity toward immigration edges down across economic, cultural, and quality-of-life measures.
