Leaving North Korea out because it's too obvious.
I suppose we should not be surprised that a significant percentage named the USA as worst government. But these people can't be serious - despite all the criticisms of our current President, the US comes nowhere near the others on this list. We still have more freedom and a more democratic process than 90% of the world's nations.

The one criteria listed by the OP that the US meets is 3) seeking world domination. We have been dominant and for some reason think we have a right to tell everyone else how to run their countries.

Having been all the countries on the list except South Africa I can say without a doubt 'Iran' the leading sponsor of terrorism, with China a close 2nd.

Agree with this. ^

The people voting against the US, are voting based on disliking Trump.

The bulk of the other countries on the OP's list are either dictatorships or have strong censorship, or human rights violation laws in place and freedom is suppressed.

The fact that Turkey has ZERO votes (and has a borderline dictator in place as a leader) in this poll, and the US is tied for first, shows that this poll is being mostly voted on by uninformed or biased against Trump folks.

Why do so many people from all over the world want to move to the US if it's so terrible?

Why don't Loony Leftists who hate the US move? They might be able to get a house at a bargain price in those countries whose citizens move here. In fact, that would be a great idea -- house swap. For every foreigner coming here, an America-hating American can move there. Problem solved!

I do wonder how these results would differ if this forum was less biased and pulled from a wider audience. I forgot just how biased this section of the forum is. So I shouldn't be surprised that the U.S has pulled to a tie with Saudi Arabia. It's not perfect but it's silly to think it's the worst on this list.

Shouldn't Pakistan be on that list? If you watched our President on Fox News Sunday you'd have learned that he stopped sending money to them because they do nothing for us Finally, common sense from an administration.

I'd say Pakistan's worse than 4 of the countries on this list for sure.
