ROMIR is sort of a Russian Zogby Organization.

[Leroy S. Mort]

20% of Russians would like Kerry to win

Thats less than our Zogby gives him in the U.S.

Do people in other countries really care about our presidential elections? I find this hard to understand because most Americans couldn't care less about the leaders that other countries elect. Certainly, I can't imagine a poll in the United States about a presidential election elsewhere in the world. In fact, I doubt that more than 10% of Americans can even name the president of Canada or Mexico, our two closest neighbors. Why the apparent obsession in other countries about our presidential elections?

If 20% of Russians wish for Kerry, doesn't it mean that 80% want something else? The Spin makes me dizzy.

[Gerasimov]

This is interesting... I received a lengthy email off my website from some deranged Canadian the other day who kept telling me what a fool I was for buying into "America's conservative lie" and that "most of the world wants to see President Bush thrown out of office..."

I kept thinking ... "Hmm ... if our enemies don't like him, then he is definitely doing the job right."

The Russian poll solidifies my thoughts...

[Steely Tom]

Heck, that settles it as far as I'm concerned.

Henceforth, in the interest of multicultural diversity and inclusive fairness, any Democrat that a minority of Russians vote for must immediately be declared President of the United States.

2 questions:

1) Who give a flip WHAT foreigners think about our elections? THEY are not voting for OUR president.(Unless they are Mexican illegals in CA)

2) Why is this even considered news?

You mean they use tartar sauce?

[Kieri]

These polls are asinine at best...when was the last time an American was polled about whether we'd prefer Tony Blair, Schroeder or (ugh) Chirac?

Dumb, dumb, dumb...

[Sam Cree]

Is this poll implying that 20% of Russians actually even know how Kerry is?

[Brilliant]

20%? Looks like the Russians are smarter than the Americans.

[rod1]

The same 20% of Russians who are in the Communist party.

[radicalamericannationalist]

What percentage of Russians are Muslim?

[Brilliant]

I'd say that Kerry has a bright future--as the President of France.

[spunkets]

I bet it matches the same group that longs to have Stalin back.

[Mister Baredog]

I guess since they're willingly giving up democracy and their right to vote, now they want to say something about ours. LOL Let them eat cake.

[Soul Seeker]

Only 20%?

Other nations' populations are in a 60% percentile against G.W. and they only racked up 20%? This is bad news? LOL!

[mass55th]

That 20% must be the ones who were getting the kickbacks from Saddam.

[NationSoConceived]

ROMIR said 33% of Russians did not expect any of the candidates' victory to be in Russia's interest

At least this third has the good sense to see what Senator Kerry does not: American elections are held in order to decide what is in America's best interest.
