Fox ^ | 10/23/2008 | Fox

It's hardly a secret that Barack Obama is Europe's favorite U.S. presidential candidate.

But a new poll shows that in France, just 1 percent of people think John McCain should win the White House. By contrast, 78 percent back Obama, while 5 percent don't want either to win.

According to Reuters, the poll found the five largest Europeans countries were unanimously behind Obama in the U.S. race.

If ever I could have found a more ringing endorsement for McCain, this is it.

Didn’t Saddam traditionally win his elections by more than 98% too?

It’s impossible to get that many people to agree on anything without wildly biasing the information— or holding a gun to their head.

Or... maybe they’re just that stupid.

Hmmm... No doubt that one percent are the children and grandchildren of the brave French Resistance from WWII.

Our local fireplace shop is owned by a nice French couple, but (no surprise) they are totally committed socialists and Bush-haters. My small sample of two confirms this poll.

You should hear the woman go on and on about how “Bush’s War” is destroying the country. I just pretend to not until I get fed up and suggest we stick to business. It’s impossible to argue with a stone wall.

Detroit was named by the French...please take it.

And the 800,000 Obamacan turds with it. They have great experience and pedigree in yoot rioting.

Get your vote on -- be at the polls on the 4th.

“There is a reason for this! They want obama because he will raise taxes and that will stop the flood of people leaving Europe and coming to the USA or other free nations for lower taxes.”

Have to disagree with you there, Chief. I think the French like Obama for 2 reasons...

First, they think the USA must atone for the sin of slavery. Just that simple: We need to be punished.

Second, they KNOW Obama isn’t a ‘cowboy’... in other words, he will mean a weaker, more pliant and compliant US (read: less resistance in the UN). The French want the US to be weaker... they want us to basically become a satellite of the EU.

Just my 2 cents.

Sarkozy is no conservative by American standards. And regardless, they don’t really care about our domestic politics; they prefer Obama because he opposes the war, and 90%+ of the French, even French “conservatives,” oppose the war.

One per cent of the French support McCain?

Well, in retrospect, that's a higher percentage than stood up to Hitler's invasion.
