I don't know what polls say, but most of the people I talk to seem to think of the US as a mix of good and bad stuff, with some of the high-profile bad stuff like catastrophic lie-based wars coming from our Dear Leader. It is a source of bewilderment and amusement that half the US population doesn't believe in evolution. The US is respected for being such an old democracy. Many Poles are quite cynical about their own government and so seem used to separating their feelings about a government from their feelings about the country and its people. Culturally, I sometimes have the impression that the worst aspects of US culture get copied in other countries, e.g. McDonald's, really lame pop music, SUV's (and car dependency in general), etc.
