WASHINGTON, DC— The U.S.-Global Leadership Project is a joint effort between the Meridian International Center and Gallup to provide a comprehensive assessment of how the world views the leadership of the United States. The Project joins Gallup’s unique global public opinion data from more than 150 countries with Meridian’s leadership-focused context to create a powerful and useful barometer of the perceptions of U.S. leadership.

This launch will share insights into the perspectives that people in different countries have of U.S. leadership, and the factors shaping their opinions. Moving forward with information and events throughout the year, The U.S.-Global Leadership Project will 1) give public- and private sector leaders a better understanding of what is driving global views of U.S. leadership; 2) create a context for collaboration on how to improve those views; and 3) enhance U.S. public and private global engagement efforts.
