Most countries would prefer to see Barack Obama re-elected as President rather than Mitt Romney, a global poll has found. The study, conducted on behalf of the BBC World Service, found that Mr Obama is seen as a stronger candidate by people in 20 of the 21 countries surveyed. On average, 50 percent of those questioned said they would prefer to see Mr Obama win the 2012 ticket, compared to just nine percent who prefer Mr Romney. France was found to be the most strongly pro-Obama nation, with 72 percent wanting him to be re-elected and just two percent preferring Mr Romney. In Britain, 65 percent wanted to see Mr Obama re-elected, compared to just seven percent for Mr Romney. Pakistan was the only nation polled where the current president is not seen as the favoured candidate. Fourteen percent of Pakistanis said they wanted to see Mr Romney elected compared with 11 percent for Mr Obama, although 75 percent expressed no opinion at all. Among other countries who strongly favour Mr Obama are Australia (67 percent), Canada (66 percent) and Nigeria (66 percent). The poll of 21,797 people was conducted by GlobeScan/PIPA between July 3 and September 3, this year. (Read by Brian Salter. Brian Salter is a journalist at the China Daily Website.) (Agencies) |
