A rare bit of good polling news for Obama today: the whole entire world wants him to be president!
All 22 countries in the poll would prefer to see Senator Obama elected US president ahead of Republican John McCain.
More than 22,000 people were questioned by pollster GlobeScan in countries ranging from Australia to India and across Africa, Europe and South America.
The margin in favour of Senator Obama ranged from 9 per cent in India to 82 per cent in Kenya, while an average of 49 per cent across the 22 countries preferred Senator Obama compared with 12 per cent preferring Senator McCain. Some four in 10 did not take a view.
Still, a similar poll in 2004 showed that 30 out of 35 countries wanted Kerry to beat Bush and did America listen? It's almost like they think it's their election or something.
