In a new survey by Ipsos MORI, half of Britons (49%) are favourable towards the incoming President of the United States, Joe Biden, only 18% view him negatively.

A similar proportion (47%) expect the USA to use its influence around the world mostly for good over the next four years under Bidenโ€™s presidency.

Bidenโ€™s running mate is viewed just as positively, with 44% favourable and 14% unfavourable towards Kamala Harris.

The outgoing President, Donald Trump is not seen so positively. Perhaps unsurprising given the events of the last few weeks, three-quarters (74%) of Britons have an unfavourable view of Mr Trump while only 13% see him positively. Half of Britons believe the US has used its influence around the world mostly for bad over the past four years (48%).

More Britons believe there is a special relationship between the US and the UK. Over half (51%) now say there is a special relationship, up from 43% when last asked in April 2016.
