The article is based on an analysis of certain aspects of how the public opinion of
selected nations in years 2001–2016 perceived the American foreign policy and the images
of two Presidents of the United States (George W. Bush, Barack Obama). In order to
achieve these research goals some polling indicators were constructed. They are linked with
empirical assessments related to the foreign policy of the U.S. and the political activity of
two Presidents of the United States of America which are constructed by nations in three
segments of the world system. Results of the analysis confirmed the research hypotheses.
The position of a given nation in the structure of the world system influenced the dynamics
of perception and the directions of empirical assessments (positive/negative) of that nation’s
public opinion about the USA.
