Neo-Nazis are the most hated group in the world: The World Values Survey asked almost 17,000 people from 11 countries(Azerbaijan, Australia, Armenia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Georgia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay) which group they disliked the most. Here is the ranking:
Percent saying the listed group is most disliked:
1. Neo-Nazis/right extremists 26.9
2. Criminals 23.4
3. Guerrillas 9.2
4. Stalinists/hard-line Communists 7.0
5. Drug traffickers 5.5
6. Capitalists 5.2
7. Homosexuals 5.2
8. Immigrants 5.1
9. Para-military 3.7
10. Radical Maori activists 3.2
11. Anarchists/terrorists 2.0
12. Christians 0.6
13. Members of new religions 0.6
14. Kurds 0.5
15. Muslims 0.4
16. Jews 0.4
To Neo-Nazi folks: you know you are not very popular when the world has more regard for criminals, drug lords, and terrorists than for you. Evidently, your Jewish enemies are winning the PR campaign: they're at the bottom of the hate list. Keep in mind that three of the included countries are former Soviet satellites, and they inflated the anti-Nazi number some. Still, the Swiss, for example, are 3.6 times more likely to dislike most the hard Right compared with criminals (67.5% versus 18.6%). Myself, I'm much more fearful of some scumbag attacking my daughter than guys with shaved heads demonstrating for white rights, but maybe I'm odd.

Most of the men who volunteered to fight Hitler prior to Pearl Harbor would be considered "right wing extremists" by today's standards. Had they seen what would happen to their country(ies) during their lifetimes if they won, they probably would have been utterly demoralized.
I looked at the data. You missed the East Germany (1997) results. There neonazis have 75% versus criminals 9%. Albania was reversed 14% disliked the right versus 74% disliking criminals. So having a crime problem helps polish the neonazis' image.
I imagine right wing extremist means something different in Latin American countries than in Australia and yet a third thing in ex-USSR countries. The association neonazi = right wing is not accurate, of course. The labeling of Nazis as right wing was done by their enemies on the left who pushed INTERnational socialism.

Without a doubt. In Latin America "right wing extremist" means death squads and torturers in the service of the wealthy white elite. In the Caucasus it´probably means Russian skinheads who persecute their kinsmen in Russia. In E Germany it probably mainly refers to drunken hooligans who create the inevitable problems that drunken hooligans create and give the people of the fomer GDR a bad name.
I wonder why they didn't poll in Russia, the apparent world capital of violent neo-nazism.

They did poll in Russia. Although it is from 1995. The 1999 survery didn't include the question. Look for yourself:

It's easy to win the PR campaign when you control the media.
