根据芝加哥全球事务委员会和美国观察家研究基金会的一项新调查，美国人对印度的看法在经历了三年的大幅下滑后略有回升，但也变得更加按党派界线分化。
American views of India have recovered slightly after a steep three-year downturn, but they have become more divided along party lines, according to a new survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Observer Research Foundation America.
在0至100分的评分标准下，美国人总体对印度的平均评分上升至51分，高于2025年10月的47分。后者是芝加哥全球事务委员会自2008年以来收集的民调中记录的印度最低评分，此前美国人对印度的看法经历了数年日益积极的变化。
On a scale of 0-100, views of India among Americans overall rose to an average of 51, up from 47 in October 2025. The latter figure was the lowest recorded rating of India in polls collected by the Chicago Council since 2008, after several years of increasingly positive views of India.
与此同时，其他几项调查也报告称美国对印度的负面情绪有所上升。皮尤研究中心今年的一项调查发现，50%的美国人对印度持不利看法。同样，知名民调机构盖洛普发现，印度的好感度从2022年的77%下降至2026年的61%。
细分数据该调查于2026年7月收集了2000多名美国成年人的观点，发现60岁以上的美国人对印度的看法较为积极，平均评分为54分。
At the same time, several other surveys have reported an uptick in negative sentiment towards India in the US. A Pew Research Centre survey this year found that 50% of Americans held an unfavourable view of India. Similarly, noted polling firm Gallup found India’s favourability had fallen to 61% in 2026 from 77% in 2022.A breakdownThe survey, which collected the views of over 2,000 US adults in July 2026, found that Americans over 60 tend to view India more favourably, with an average rating of 54.
然而，18至29岁年轻美国人对印度的平均积极评分从2022年的55分大幅下降至2026年的47分。该调查未详述这一下降的原因。
However, the average positive rating of India among younger Americans aged 18 to 29 fell sharply from 55 in 2022 to 47 in 2026. The survey does not detail the reasons for this decline.
现在认为印度是美国盟友的美国人变少了。虽然2021年有21%的受访者视印度为美国盟友，但2026年仅有10%的人持此看法。不过，稳定的41%受访者仍视印度为必要伙伴，认为美国必须在战略上与其合作。极少数美国人将印度视为对手或敌人。
Fewer Americans now consider India an ally of the United States. While 21% of respondents saw India as an American ally in 2021, only 10% do so in 2026. However, a solid 41% continue to view India as a necessary partner with whom the US must cooperate strategically. Few Americans saw India as a rival or an adversary.A political divideA divide has also opened up along partisan political lines.
党派分歧党派政治界线上也出现了分歧。2022年，民主党人（55分）、独立人士（55分）和共和党人（52分）对印度的评分均高于中位数。如今，民主党人给出55分，独立人士给出52分，而共和党人给出47分，略高于去年的历史最低点43分。共和党人也比民主党人和独立人士更反对来自印度的高技能移民。
In 2022, Democrats (55), Independents (55) and Republicans (52) all rated India above the midpoint. Today, Democrats rate India at 55 and Independents at 52, while Republicans sit at 47, slightly up from an all-time low of 43 last year. Republicans are also more opposed to high-skilled immigration from India than Democrats and independents. 45% of Democrats and 37% of independents supported increasing visas for high-skilled Indian workers, compared to just 27% of Republicans.
45%的民主党人和37%的独立人士支持增加发给印度高技术工人的签证，相比之下，共和党人仅为27%。与民主党人和独立人士不同，共和党人以29%对19%的差距支持因印度购买俄罗斯石油而对其加征额外关税，尽管有可观的50%表示不够了解，无法表态。然而，共和党人比民主党人和独立人士更倾向于支持与印度开展军事合作，以遏制中国在亚洲的影响力。
Unlike Democrats and independents,Republicans also favoured placing additional tariffs on India for buying Russian oil by a 29-19 margin, although a solid 50% said they did not know enough to say. However, Republicans were more likely to back military cooperation with India to counter China’s influence in Asia than Democrats and independents.
更广泛的趋势该调查还指向两个更广泛的趋势。表达了意见的美国人倾向于支持可能促进美印关系更紧密的政策：多数人支持通过贸易协定削减对印度商品的关税（48%对12%）以及扩大技术合作（38%对16%），反对因印度购买俄罗斯石油而对其加征额外关税的人多于支持者（29%对22%）。
Broader trendsThe survey also points to two broader trends. Americans who offered an opinion tended to favour policies that could promote closer ties with India: a plurality backed cutting tariffs on Indian goods through a trade deal (48% to 12%) and expanding technology cooperation (38% to 16%), and more opposed than supported additional tariffs on India over its Russian oil purchases (29% to 22%).Yet many Americans appear unfamiliar with the relationship.
然而，许多美国人似乎对这种关系不熟悉。超过三分之一的人表示不知道如何描述美印关系，而在大多数政策问题上，多数人表示不够了解，无法表态。
More than a third said they did not know how to characterise US-India ties, and on most policy questions, a plurality said they did not know enough to say.
该调查的结果还有趣的是与印度人对美国更不利的看法相吻合。皮尤研究中心2026年的一项调查发现，仅有45%的印度人对美国持积极看法，低于2025年的54%。
The survey’s findings also coincide interestingly with more unfavourable views of America among Indians. A Pew Research survey in 2026 found that just 45% of Indians expressed positive views of America, down from 54% in 2025.
