In 2007, Time magazine named Vladimir Putin its Person of the Year. Since then, public opinion has shifted sharply due to numerous war crimes and aggressions.

According to the 2025 Gallup International End-of-Year Survey, Putin’s global net favorability score fell to minus 41, compared with plus 3 in 2017.

The survey is one of the world’s longest-running studies of global public opinion. These are the survey’s 2025 results.
