Berlin, May 18, IRNA Germany-US-Bush American President George W Bush is the most disliked foreign leader among Germans as some 70 percent of Germans do not have favorable opinion of him, reported the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Wednesday citing an opinion poll released by the Allensbach Institute.

Only 16 percent of those questioned said they had a good opinion of the US leader, while 14 percent were undecided.

German-US ties reached a post- -World War II low point two years ago after Berlin refused to back the illegal American invasion of Iraq.
