American Perceptions of Pakistan

Polls concerning U.S.-Pakistan relations tend to focus on how Pakistanis view the United States.  A new Gallup survey provides a look at the flip side.  How do Americans view Pakistan?

Pakistan is one of the most unfavorably viewed countries.  Seventy two percent of Americans polled have negative views on Pakistan.  It trails Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, but finds itself ahead of Afghanistan, Iraq, the Palestinian Authority, North Korea, and Iran.  Republicans are almost twice more likely than Democrats to view Pakistan positively.
