81 percent of Serbians like Putin, Gallup poll reveals

Respondents - 53,769 persons from 55 countries - were asked to rank 12 global leaders.

In Serbia, the most popular among them is Russian President Vladimir Putin (81 percent), followed by Chinese President Xi Jinping (61 percent), Merkel (38 percent), and Macron and US President Donald Trump (33 percent each).

When it comes to the global results, Putin ranks fourth (43 percent), behind the pope (56 percent), Merkel (49 percent), and Macron (45 percent).

On this list, behind Putin are British PM Theresa May (38 percent), and Xi Jinping (37 percent).

Of the 12 leaders, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani polled last both in Serbia and globally.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan is more popular elsewhere in the world, where he ranked ninth, than in Serbia, where he came in 11th.

Announcing the results, Gallup said that compared to the 2016 survey, this one - conducted October 2017-December 2017, with the margin of error between +3-5 percent at 95 percent confidence level - "shows a significant increase in favorability towards President Putin, and a US president who compares significantly less favorably with his predecessor - but both politicians trail the pope."
