Republican John McCain got some good news from recent U.S. polls showing he is gaining support among Americans. But there is also some bad news for him: Democrat Barack Obama is favored by a 4-to-1 margin among 22,500 people from 22 countries surveyed in a recently released BBC poll.
That poll found that in every country surveyed – with each continent represented in the poll - Obama was favored. The countries with the largest majorities favoring Obama as U.S. president are Kenya (87 percent), Italy (76 percent) and France (69 percent.) Forty-six percent of those polled said they believed U.S. relations with the world would improve under an Obama presidency, compared to 20 percent who said the same of McCain. Thirty-seven percent of those polled believed that if McCain were elected, U.S. relations with the world would remain the same as they are under President Bush.
Although it is not a formal poll, Campaign Trail Talk readers also seem to favor Obama, judging by the comments they have posted. But the comments show that there are plenty of McCain fans in the world as well.
