When President George W. Bush is greeted by his host, President Vladimir Putin at this weekend's G8 summit meeting in St. Petersburg, neither leader can feel secure in the confidence placed in their leadership by the citizens of major countries around the globe.

But, with a few exceptions, neither man can point to substantial levels of support elsewhere in the world. Source: Pew Research Center
