Global view of US Presidential election

[Guest EXPAT]

This is very telling isn't it. . .

To be fair, people must have selected their choice based on familiarity rather than any substantial knowledge about two candidates.

I actually think it is more that they are afraid of change. Because they already know what Obama is about. However, in 2004, I was traveling throughout Europe and no one wanted Bush to return. They all hated him with a lot of emotion. And I was speaking mainly to banking executives in all of the countries in Europe and Asia at that time.

One of the major networks reported that the American election for President has been followed very closely at the detail level all around the world. Surprising to us maybe but they went on to say that everyone looks to the US as a paragon that most everyone aspires to for their own country -- even though they may have specific policy differences and disagreements. So they follow what goes on here.

Interesting that Pakistan is the only listed country that prefers Romney over Obama. Also interesting that Iran is MIA.
