That survey is old. He used to be more popular for sure, but then he had a bad track record internationally as president. I remember before leaving China in 2016 many Chinese at work (so all techies, but not American) telling me they liked Trump. Today you wouldn’t hear that.

Lacking newer survey data, it is hard to say. I would totally believe his overall global popularity has fallen since 2019, but unlikely to 1%.

A poll last month in Israel found 44% of Israelis preferred Trump to Biden, versus 30% the other way around. [0] Of course, Israelis have some rather specific reasons for feeling this way, but they may not be the only country for which that is true.
