US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama may be struggling to nudge ahead of his Republican rival in polls at home, but people across the world want him in the White House, a BBC poll said.
All 22 countries covered in the poll would prefer to see Senator Obama elected US president ahead of Republican John McCain.
In 17 of the 22 nations, people expect relations between the US and the rest of the world to improve if Senator Obama wins.
More than 22,000 people were questioned by pollster GlobeScan in countries ranging from Australia to India and across Africa, Europe and South America.
The margin in favour of Senator Obama ranged from 9 per cent in India to 82 per cent in Kenya, while an average of 49 per cent across the 22 countries preferred Senator Obama compared with 12 per cent preferring Senator McCain. Some four in 10 did not take a view.
"Large numbers of people around the world clearly like what Barack Obama represents," GlobeScan chairman Doug Miller said.

I don’t give a damn what the World wants. We are the United States of America.
Gee, there's a shocker.
So let him be President of the world - We’ll elect somebody else as POTUS.
Yeah well the world doesn’t get a vote in the US (unless you participate in WA state elections even the dead have a voice here.)
WTF cares what the world thinks. Most of the world s**ks b@lls.
Proof positive that the entire world has gone nuts!
They wanted Kerry and Gore too. These polls are done everytime and always the same.
They can come get them anytime they like.
The world can have him. Let him go to the UN.
Why don’t we elect someone that Americans want...
Screw them. I don’t tell them who to vote for, if they can even vote. Why the hell should we care?
Searh works..

sheesh.
Or maybe he could buy himself a title from some small German duchy and hang out in Europe — “Barrack Hussein Obama II, prince archbishop-elect of Arugula.”
Zakly!
Let the UN take him...pleeeeeze!!!
More good news. The only people who care about appeasing the rest of the world are liberals from the coasts. This will help alienate Americans and give them one more reason to reject Barak he-whose-full-name-must-not-be-uttered Obama.

LOL, this will go over well with non moonbat Americans.
