People outside the US would prefer Barack Obama to become US president ahead of John McCain, a BBC World Service poll suggests. Democrat Mr Obama was favoured by a four-to-one margin across the 22,500 people polled in 22 countries.
In 17 countries, the most common view was that US relations with the rest of the world would improve under Mr Obama. If Republican Mr McCain were elected, the most common view was that relations would remain about the same.
The BBC poll was conducted before the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Republican V.P. candidate. Image credit

I am so glad for polls like these. I feel so much better knowing that the rest of the world has our best interests in mind.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...if the rest of the world thinks that Barak Obama would benefit them the most...doesn't that mean we should probably pick the candidate who would help AMERICA the most?
So when Hamas, Iran, Venezuela, Syria, North Korea, Russia, and China all endorse Obama, how are we to interpret that?
