Rest of the world bar Pakistan, supports Barack Obama in 2012 presidential race

No Donegal16 they know who is the better man to lead the free world and 50% of Americans are just blinded by their guns God and the so-called American way.

who care what they think, they just want to see the us knocked down to their size and Romney won't let that happen.

Gee the teabaggers are having a field "if only our guy was so popular, ah well!! he can always holiday in Pakistan. If you call POTUS the "leader of the free word" I wanna vote.

People, wake up! Obama is systematically destroying my country! And when the United States of America falls, so, unfortunately, will most of the civilized world. I currently split my time between America and Ireland ,as I have dual citizenship, but am appalled that Irish people feel any affinity with Obama who has increased the USA national debt by hundreds of TRILLIONS in under 4 years, undermined the constitution, lied and cheated and continued the wars with their attendant deaths and destruction, etc. Bertie and gang and the current Irish government have enslaved the Irish population to the troika, relinquished financial sovereignty to the French, German and Belgian banks, created a nanny state which can't survive......and you want the USA to follow in these footsteps by "approving of" Obama?

Big surprise, the protectors of Osama vote for Robme.

who cares what the rest of the world thinks. they don't pay my taxes. you can take these poles and shimmy up them

No information is given on how this data was collected by the BBC. Polls are only a sampling, the real poll is votes. If it is accurate, perhaps these countries see a possible reduction or elimination of foreign aid from the USA if Romney is elected, which most US Taxpayers favor. NPR (National Public Radio) is another item that US Taxpayers should stop paying for. Let them go into the commerical air waves. In the real world, if the ballon went up these countries would rather have Romney then Obama, in the White House. Appeasement will not stop terror, it would encourage it.

Just no accounting fo the thinking of some.whatever they are thinking with I do not know.Maybe the dumb reporting is working on the poor souls.

A weak America is a liked America.

Annapolisirish: very well stated. The rest of the world does not have to live with this distasterous president, but we have, for 4 years. Enough self-flagellation - send him back to wherever he came from (still very much in doubt). Let's make it anywhere but in a position of power - and it is weird that he wants the most powerful job in the world so he can make America less powerful. Go figure.

The countries in the rest of the world want to bring the USA down to their level.

I cannot let this pass without a comment. Whilst I am sure it is lovely for Mr. Obama that he could apparently be elected "king of the world" the fact of the matter is that this is not dissimilar to what a number of Brits say re: the world's on-going fascination with/enchantment by the monarchy: "You don't have to pay for it." In the case of the world's apparent thrall for Obama, the world has not lived through the last almost-4 years, America has. Whilst things were bad when he came into office - they are now in a state of disaster. His policies are bankrupting the US economy, and instead of being what Ronald Reagan saw as the world's "city on a hill" America is now correctly being perceived as being weak, at precisely a time in history when the type of leadership that could cry out "Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!" is needed. Just a thought -
