I'm not sure the polling data for how favorably the French population views the US aligns with what you're saying.

I see absolutely nothing in that article that contradicts my point, what exactly are you seeing that I am missing?

French favorable vs unfavorable views of the US flex similarly to US views of France, and are likewise triggered by policy/political decisions in each country.

    Consider me dense but that is not the sentiment that I get from the article, it lumps all of Europe together, not France in isolation and that's the subject here I thought? The way I read the article is: Europeans on average are positive about their relationship with the United States, with the French sitting at 84% positive, the reverse is reflected in the views of the United States versus Europe as a whole at 73%. Individual sentiment of the United States versus various European countries is not broken out.

      The article is about the sweeping change in European favorability of the US in the wake of Biden taking office. The graph I linked from the article specifically breaks out France from the UK and Germany, and shows that the French population's position on the US has inverted several times in the measured period, with low points during the Trump and Bush presidencies where only around 40% of French respondents viewed the US favorably. I'm going to stop responding here rather than keep digging the thread deeper.
