The research also found Trump leads Clinton by 21 points in Russia, while Clinton leads Trump by more than 21 points in 15 other countries. For example, in Mexico, where Trump has said he will build a wall on the country’s border with the U.S. as commander in chief, Clinton leads by 54 points.
In China, Clinton leads by just 12 points over Trump. Though Chinese officials have stayed relatively mum on the 2016 election, Finance Minister Lou Jiwei has called Trump an “irrational type.”
Trump trails Clinton in South Korea and Japan, two countries he said should obtain nuclear weapons to fight North Korea sans U.S. financial aid, by 37 points and 27 points, respectively. In the United Kingdom, which has debated banning Trump for his offensive comments, Clinton has a comfortable lead of 34 points.
