Coca-Cola, McDonalds and Nike are among the biggest brands to suffer declining consumer sentiment, while Apple, Google, Disney and even Microsoft are seeing their ranking improve, the report claims.
Anti-American sentiment is particularly affecting US brands in the developing economies.

It looked at a mix of 60 American and international brands.
