Americans voted North Korea as the most disliked country, reflecting national sentiment towards a leader who executed his uncle and repeatedly threatened the U.S., AFP reported.

In a Gallup poll released Wednesday, Americans ranked the nations they liked and disliked the most. Over 1,000 Americans participated in the poll that was conducted from Feb. 6 to Feb. 9. A few days later, the United Nations accused North Korea of committing crimes against humanity, AFP reported.

North Korea was ranked at the very bottom for the first time since 2004, AFP reported. Only 11 percent of participants said they had a positive opinion about the country led by Kim Jong Un.

The second most disliked country was Iran. Relations between Iran and the U.S. have been unfavorable for years, due in part to Iran's controversial nuclear weapons program. Conditions between the two countries have recently became less tense thanks to international negotiations and a newly elected president, AFP reported. 

But Americans like Iran only slightly more than North Korea, with a favorable vote of 12 percent. That percent is three points higher than last year's Gallup poll, AFP reported.

The poll also reflected current American attitudes towards Russia. The approval rating for Russia was 34 percent, ten points lower than last year, AFP reported. The U.S. has recently criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for his anti-gay stance.

Canada was voted the most favorable country by 93 percent of Americans. Canada was also voted most likeable last year.

Mexico was another favorable country among Americans, increasing 11 points to an approval rating of 58 percent, AFP reported. India also increased in favorability, rising four points to 72 percent. More Americans favored India despite tensions that rose when an Indian diplomat was arrested in New York last year on charges of Visa fraud.
