The current study builds on previous knowledge of international public opinion by examining the role that the evaluation of a nation's leader may have on evaluations of the nation by a foreign public. More specifically, the study examines the impact of the so-called Obama effect on attitudes toward the United States in the nation of Pakistan. The study analyzed a large subset of data ( N = 1,254) from the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project. The results of the analysis point to significant relationships among confidence in Obama's leadership, approval of Obama's foreign policies, U.S.-Pakistan relations, and favorability toward the United States. The study discusses the theoretical implications of the findings along with the contextual implications on U.S. public diplomacy
