The latest poll in Germany shows the following results (question: who would you vote for?):

- Obama: 85%
- Romney: 4%

In Germany - and I think all around the world - the image of the U.S. improved a lot during President Obamas term.
Opposite to Romney, he is also there for the 'normal' people and for those who are the weakest in society.
But in a worldwide economy crisis like we have it right now, there are obviously more bad news than good news.
He is educated and doesn't seem to be a puppet of the bank sector or the oil industry.
No one here understood how it was possible that a wonderful country like the United States voted for Bush twice.
And there are not many people who would understand if Romney would become the next POTUS.
He seems to be pretty dumb, has no real plan and belongs to a party that is a shadow of itself, with the Tea Party influence that is purely horrible.

The choice is seemingly obvious isn't it? I mean, from what I can see from afar... 1% should be voting for Mitt.

It's important to note the US elected Bush only one time- his second term. His first term was not achieved legitimately. In fact- and I'm talking a real fact- the US had rightfully elected Gore... but... well... something happened in Florida if memory serves me correct and in the end... oil companies ended up getting their man anyways.

Everything seems to be going so well every where else in the world...Anyway the rest of the world could come fix our problems too? I kid of course.

It shouldn't be surprising that polls in other countries would show Obama with a huge lead. This is the man that won the Nobel Peace Prize after all.

Words carry weight...Romney doesn't speak well and doesn't come across as being for the people. Obama speaks about being for the people. That message resonates in areas more prone to liking larger gov't involvement in lives. Nothing wrong with that, to each their own. If politics in the US were about the individual instead of party I don't know if we would see too many Romneys getting too far. We would see more wellstones, pauls, kucinichs...

But I agree with what was said earlier...Most people from other countries would have the decent sense not to limit themselves to only two viable party voices. They may fiercly support their party in the voting booth but I would think they would look at two party politics as a joke.

I can't believe people think America is above other countries especially other westernized anglo countries :fp: :fp: :fp: that is an issue.

Didn't you just say that you think your country is better than America? Ah yes:

well countries like Australia etc aren't against the USA.. we believe we're a better nation then America..

So you think it's an issue that some Americans think America is "above other countries" while simultaneously believing that your country is better than America? Interesting.

actually, there is a difference. some americans shout it from the rooftops. the rest of the world quietly thinks it to themselves.

there's nothing wrong with national pride as long as it doesn't take over your life.

Does anyone here believe that these countries want us to be strong and get stronger? Do you think they want us to protect our borders, advance our ideals, project our influence, build our military, strengthen our dollar and fly our flag with more pride than each day? Do you seriously think they wish us well and hope for us to strengthen our country? Please answer with substance and clear, logical reason!

actually, as one of the biggest economic powers of the world, no country in their right mind would want america to "fall".

no one outside your borders cares how high you fly your flag.

wake up and smell reality.

... another day another world poll

http://news.uk.msn.com/us-elections-201 ... ept-china/

Barack Obama has overwhelming public support across the world, according to an MSN poll of more than half a million people - while his Republican rival Mitt Romney was only given the thumbs-up by China.

In 34 of the 35 countries where MSN quizzed its online readers, the current US president won well over half of the votes.

The only exception was China, where readers backed Romney by 52% to 48%.

The results of MSN's survey poses something of a dilemma for Romney, who would not want to be seen as being popular in China.

Throughout this year's presidential campaign Romney has tried to talk tough towards the country, accusing it of being a nation of "cheats" and of stealing "intellectual property".

But MSN's poll reinforces an impression of Romney being a friend of China.

His opponents in the Democratic party have sought to further question Romney's judgment by accusing him of encouraging the outsourcing of US jobs to China during his time in charge of the financial services company Bain Capital.

He Wang from MSN China commented on why she thought her readers hadn't backed Obama: "Romney won because our users think he relates to people better. He is less political and more business-like and can relate to the world. Obama is too idealistic, he's already had his chance for four years. So we think the other guy is better."

Here in the UK, MSN readers gave a massive endorsement of Barack Obama, backing him 85% to 15%.

Ireland, who played host to Barack and Michelle Obama during their European tour in 2011, backed the president by 87%.

Voting ends in the 2012 US election campaign on Tuesday 6 November. You'll be able to follow live coverage of the results, starting on Tuesday evening, right here on MSN.

Obama is a pretty man. I can't believe the conditions for those effected by Hurricane Sandy.
A week to get hot meals and water? Is this any better than Katrina?
Campaign trail must go on I guess. :fp:

So disappointing this administration. And Libya ...
really?

I guess the people of the world are not as effected by honesty and priorities.
