New Global Poll Shows Bush in Growing Disfavor

For those of you trying to gauge how the rest of the world sees the U.S., especially the Bush administration, here are some interesting insights.

Global Market Insite (GMI), a leading provider of integrated, global on-line market research solutions, has released its new poll on world political opinion about the U.S. and the Bush administration.

The main finding of this poll is that respondents from the participating G8 economic countries (excluding the United States) strongly view -- by a large margin -- that President George W. Bush is not an effective global leader; are opposed to the U.S. sending military troops to Iraq; do not view the maltreatment of prisoners at Al Ghraib prison by U.S. military as an isolated event; and do not believe in the efficacy of the United States' approach to fighting global terrorism. International survey respondents (excluding the United States) also support by extremely high margins John Kerry over George W. Bush in the upcoming November U.S. presidential election.
