PARIS If the world could cast a vote in the United States presidential election, John Kerry would beat George W. Bush by a landslide, according to a poll released on Wednesday that is described as the largest sample of global opinion on the race. . "It is absolutely clear that John Kerry would win handily if the people of the world could vote," said Steve Kull, director of The Program on International Policy Attitudes of the University of Maryland, a co-sponsor of the survey. "It is rather striking that just one in five people surveyed around the world support the re-election of President Bush."

Im sure Reagan would have lost the "world vote" in a landslide as well. LOL

[AmericanVictory]

I believe even fewer polled on world opinion supported the unruly colonists of America when they voted to establish their own nation. It was definitely against "world opinion" of the time, as the media pundits of the day all noted.

If the world could cast a vote in the United States presidential election...

If your grandmother had b@lls, she'd be your grandfather.

Totally irrelevant poll, courtesy of a totally irrelevant part of the MSM. However, I will now feel MUCH better when Bush is elected, if only to give the rest of the world a hint as to where to stick it.

[Rummyfan]

This has to be the dumbest damn poll ever undertaken! What point is the IHT trying to make here?

[AmericanVictory]

On the other hand, an overwhelming majority of those in the rest of the world who vote with their feet seem to vote for the U.S. None seem to vote with their feet for Islamic countries. We wonder why?

Has the Kerry campaign trumpeted this poll's finding on its website?

BTTT

"Just shows me how liberal the globe has become. What a pity."

Well I think that's only half true. We are an easy target when we boldly lead. Bush is doing just that. I truly believe that if the entire world were given U.S. citizenship and could be a part of moving the world into a brighter future... these numbers would be different. Being the lone superpower makes us an easy target there is nothing more to it than that. Had Reagan not had the Soviet Union as another superpower the world would have hated him much more than they already did.

I'm an American... and I'm voting for George W. Bush
God Bless!

[Pearls Before Swine]

No surprise here. The world at large would be voting for a neutered US and increased handouts for themselves taken from the labors of its productive people.

Sounds a bit like the democrats here!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Considering where the rest of the world gets it's news, it's a wonder that President Bush got any votes at all.

Anyway, President Bush will win in a landslide.

[Arrowhead1952]

10 out of 10 terrorists would vote for kerry.

[Leonora]

But, it's a good thing Kerry could win in France. They deserve him.

[uncitizen]

It is absolutely clear that John Kerry would win handily if the people of the world could vote

More evidence that we must stop accepting so many foreigners into our country. Yes i said "foreigners".

[diamond6]

France would vote for him, too. They want us to be just like them - a bunch of yellow-bellied, socialist cowards [I'd like to use another word, but I'll restrain myself].

[cake_crumb]

Kerry can say what he wants and continue to assume it's political, but the fact remains that President Bush does not have the blood of tens of thousands of his countrymen on his hands as John Kerry does...nor the millions of Vietnamese civilians genocided both before and after the fall of Saigon.

[montag813]

if the people of the world could vote

When Hillary seizes power this is precisely what will occur, once the American Enabling Act of 2010 is enacted.

"Cheese-eating surrender-monkeys", I believe, is the term you're looking for.

If the world could cast a vote in the United States presidential election...
