Yes indeed, and for various reasons, some having to do with my political leanings, and some being more opportunistic, in a way.

So we're only 7% ? But I don't feel all that isolated. Didn't one of your great statesmen say that a man with a good cause made a majority ?lol

This poll really made me angry when I first saw it on FR (strangely enough, I missed it in the French media). First, it's pointless and useless : only a small percentile of those people know anything about the two candidates, so the value of their input in this issue is about zilch.

But above all, I think it's really making fun of democracy. I strongly believe that the coming US election belongs to no-one except the US citizens. Non-nationals are entitled to an opinion or a preference, of course, but they should keep it to themselves until after the election and not flaunt it like that, as if they had anything to do with the due course of the political process.
