International survey on our national election

Dragon Mood? -- ???

The London Guardian (Guardian Unlimited), a British newspaper, published a survey of ten international newspapers, headlining it as "What the world thinks of America."

One part of the survey I found quite interesting. In response to the question, "Would you prefer to see the election of George W. Bush or John Kerry on November 2," here were the following responses:

_______________Bush__Kerry__
Canada.............20.........60...
France...............16.........72...
UK....................22.........50...
Spain................13.........58...
Russia...............52.........48...
Japan................30.........51...
Australia.............28.........54...
Mexico...............20.........54...
Israel.................50.........24...
Korea.................18.........68...
Average..............27.........54...


Note that Russia and Israel are the only countries cited as supporting the re-election of George Bush. All the other countries support the election of John Kerry by an overwhelming TWO to ONE margin!.
