b. obama was consistently at least 10 percent more popular.

c. bush was much more popular before he authorized the invasion of iraq but he rebounded toward the end of his second term.

d. obama became more popular later on in his presidency.

The correct answer is B. In other countries, Obama was consistently at least 10 percent more popular than George W. Bush.

Explanation:

Historically, Democratic presidents have been more popular than Republicans regarding public opinion abroad. Generally, democratic health, education and security policies are well regarded by progressive countries in Latin America and Europe. This, in itself, gives Obama an advantage over Bush.

In addition, War on Terror meant for foreign opinion an outrage to the freedoms and rights of the citizens of the Middle East. Therefore, while Obama in many ways intensified this conflict, Bush was seen as the initiator of this and, for many, his main responsibility.

But it is also true that Obama had several situations that undermined his popularity, such as the suppression of the "wet feet, dry feet" policy regarding Cuban refugees arriving to America.

In conclusion, both had in their foreign policy various situations that were frowned upon in the eyes of foreigners, but the truth is that Obama had greater acceptance than Bush, partly because of his membership in the Democratic Party.

no one really purchased it themselves, it was all america, they had debates etc.
