The rate of positive perceptions of the United States in overall Latin America has been decreasing lately. In 2018, around 63 percent of the Latin American people who participated in a survey claimed to have either a good or a very good view of the U.S., down from a 73 percent peak observed two years before.

Recently, the Dominican Republic registered the most positive perception of the United States in the region.
