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.

The margin in favour of Senator Obama ranged from 9 per cent in India to 82 per cent in Kenya...

Gee, there's a shocker.

[Izzy Dunne]

So let him be President of the world - We’ll elect somebody else as POTUS.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

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.)

[library user]

WTF cares what the world thinks. Most of the world s**ks b@lls.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Good for them!!! The world can have him only after McCain/Palin spanks his ass in November.

[unixfox]

Proof positive that the entire world has gone nuts!

[gidget7]

The "World” does not vote for Presidents in the US. They “World” has no say in who voters of the US choose. They have no say in elections period. This is a stupid and ignorant article.

[Names Ash Housewares]

They wanted Kerry and Gore too. These polls are done everytime and always the same.

They can come get them anytime they like.

[tips up]

The world can have him. Let him go to the UN.

Why don’t we elect someone that Americans want...

[BluH2o]

We go thru this crap every presidential election cycle. Last time they wanted Kerry before that Al Gore ... Clinton, of course, passed their smell test.

[brwnsuga]

Screw them. I don’t tell them who to vote for, if they can even vote. Why the hell should we care?

sheesh.

[Clioman]

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!!!

[AD from SpringBay]

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.

[jwalsh07]

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

Thank heaven America is not the world!

The only reason “the world” wants ANYONE elected, is that they know that that someone will LESSEN America in the world so that they don’t look so bad by comparison.

[Jim Noble]

Thanks for the advice, world.

We are the world
We are the children

We want The Messiah
We want The One

In Barack alone our hope is found;
He is our light, our strength, our song

Out of Kenya’s/Indonesia’s hills, Salvation comes

We are the world

[Calpernia]

Seems like the 'World' votes in our elections too.

[weegee]

Odd. The friggin’ Leftist media has repeated the pro-dictator Left’s mantra that we should never have gone to war against Iraq because it was a “sovereign nation”.

They don’t LIKE that America is also a sovereign nation.

In that case, FTW..

[devere]

Make Obama ambassador to the UN.

Then abolish the UN!

[utherdoul]

the United States IS the world. The rest of those countries are just lucky enough to be along for the ride.

[Kimmers]

When Hollywood and the world wants a particular candidate that is one more reason not to vote for that candidate.....

It really is a none issue....I cannot vote Democrat

[indylindy]

The world can have him. We don’t want him. Do we send him UPS or via US Postal Service?

[weegee]

ABCDisney should be MORE concerned with which movie non-Americans think should win the next Oscar.

"Large numbers of people around the world clearly like what Barack Obama represents," GlobeScan chairman Doug Miller said.

Yes, the leaders in the Soviet Reunion, Cuba, Venezuela, Spain, North Korea, Vietnam, and China all like Marxism.

[vietvet67]

Obama lost his lead? Cue the Slim Whitman music!

[DAC21]

I think this seals it for MAC / Palin.

[BossLady]

10 OUT OF 10 SOCIALISTS AGREE: OBAMA ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[Jeff Chandler]

"I'm President of the World!!!!!"

[hdbc]

FTW

[MeanWestTexan]

Poll the same people and see what percentage want all Americans to die.

[library user]

It just got posted again.

[RC2]

I agree...........really don’t care who the world wants for “OUR” President. Not their choice.

[xcamel]

twice..

[library user]

The rest of the world is not clean or articulate enough for Barry.

[ari-freedom]

So let him be President of the world

ummmm that’s his plan.

[shiva]

Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Turkey, the UAE, Britain ,,

Which of these countries will Obama and Mickey go to after they lose the election?

[Sigurdrifta]

This stuff is weird. I get the same reactions from liberals at my own university who keep worrying about “restoring our image in the world” (why we should vote for Obama). And yet, someone whom I know very well who runs meetings in Latin America for an important international organization laughs to me and says they have people from many of these countries at these meetings, and they say ( better than 90%) “How can you Americans vote for this idiot Obama?).

Got me.

[imahawk]

AND I SAY FTW.We are the United States of America and we dont care what the slipknots want.
