World Wants Bush Out of the White House: Poll
=============================================

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The world wants President Bush out of the White House, according to a poll released on Wednesday that shows in 30 of 35 countries people preferred Democrat candidate John Kerry.

Kerry was particularly favored in traditionally strong U.S. allies and beat Bush on average by more than a two-to-one margin, 46 percent to 20 percent, the survey by GlobeScan Inc, a global research firm, and the University of Maryland, said.

The survey of attitudes around the world contrasts with U.S. polls that have shown the American electorate closely divided and that Bush has been gaining momentum since the Republican convention this month.

Bush launched a U.S.-led invasion of Iraq last year over the objections of many governments, including allies, and the first U.S. pre-emptive war angered many people around the world. Kerry has said he will pursue stronger international alliances if he wins the presidency.

"Only one in five want to see Bush re-elected. Though he is not as well known, Kerry would win handily if the people of the world were to elect the U.S. president," Steven Kull, director of the university's program on international policy attitudes, said.

The only countries where Bush was preferred in the poll of 34,330 people that was conducted mainly in July and August were the Philippines, Nigeria and Poland. India and Thailand were divided.

Asked how the foreign policy of Bush has affected their feelings toward the United States, a majority or plurality of respondents in 30 countries said it made them feel worse about America, while in three countries more respondents said they felt better.

The survey's margin of error was plus or minus 2.3 to 5 percentage points.

for the recognize a disgraceful idiot and baffoon when they see one.  Personally I don't want to see Kerry in the White House either but one thing is for sure that Bush is a complete disgrace to this nation.

It's to bad what other countries think but we can't base our foreign policy on it.  We're the world leader and we have to lead.  Kerry would give our sovereignty to the corrupt UN. That's crazy.
I think we should give the UN the boot. Pack them off to Iceland or better yet, Greenland.  We don't want to wreck Iceland.

No wait, it isn't, is it?

But it does give credence to Zell Miller's claim that John "Hanoi" Kerry would ask for france's approval before defending America.

Now that would be a good thing.  No wait, it wouldn't, would it?

GOPg- Do you EVER read?  The UN thing is a total fabrication and you ought to know it if you have read any reputable source on the subject.

You have stated a common misconception about our "leadership" role in the world. Do you see very many people following us ?  Then we are NOT leading!

In fact with a "leader" who is a WORLD  laughingstock/buffoon  we are becoming a pariah.  No body really wants to play with Baby Huey, when he's proven a total nimrod.  Are you in the habit of seeking out the company of your friends who have proven themselves to be self  destructive and dangerous to BOTH allies and enemies?
