While Canadians have been having a love-in with Barack Obama this week, Americans apparently also have good feelings for their neighbor to the north.

Nine out of 10 Americans view Canada favorably, according to a recent Gallup Poll. Only six percent have a negative view of Canada.

This is the fourth year in a row that Canada has topped the favorability ratings. In 2008, 92 percent of Americans gave Canada favorable marks.

The same survey found that “Great Britain, another English-speaking ally of the United States, nearly matches Canada in its U.S. popularity, with an 89% favorable rating. Japan and Germany fall a notch lower, viewed favorably by about 8 in 10 Americans, followed by France, India, and Israel, all with positive ratings around 64%.”
