The UK is 'chaotic' and 'awful' under Labour, according to new research.
When asked to characterize the "current state of the UK," those were the phrases that respondents most frequently used, according to an exclusive survey conducted for DailyMail.com.
But according to the JL Partners poll, Keir Starmer hasn't had much of an influence in the US, with 60% of respondents unsure of Britain's performance since the new prime minister took office.
The study, carried out between January 10 and 12, comes as Sir Keir desperately tries to forge strong relations with Donald Trump.
The premier set to head for Washington DC within weeks as he pleads with the returning president not to hammer the UK economy by imposing tariffs.
Sir Keir sent his congratulations in a gushing statement overnight, insisting Transatlantic ties are built on 'unshakeable foundations' and hinting at a push for a trade deal.
But there are mounting concerns about the huge political gulf between Labour and the new White House. Rumours have been swirling that Mr Trump could punish Sir Keir for party activists going to the US to campaign for his Democrat rival Kamala Harris.
There have even been suggestions that the nomination of Lord Mandelson as the UK's ambassador could be vetoed.
The JL Partners survey included a so-called 'word cloud' of responses about the status of the UK.
Alongside 'terrible' and 'chaotic', the most common answers from those who gave one were 'unstable' and 'bad'.
However, a separate question on how Americans felt the 'UK is doing under its new Prime Minister' was slightly more positive for Sir Keir.
A fifth thought that the country was doing 'somewhat' or 'very' well - with 12 per cent saying 'badly'.
But the overwhelming majority - more than two-thirds - said 'neither' or were not sure.
