No shit Sherlock. What kind of dumn asses needs a world poll to find that out.? :shock:
Worldwide approval of U.S. leadership dipped considerably during President Barack Obama’s fourth year in office. It was 49 percent approval during Bush's last year and has dropped to 41 percent under Obama's leadership.
“This shift suggests that the president and the new secretary of state may not find global audiences as receptive to the U.S. agenda as they have in the past. In fact, they may even find even once-warm audiences increasingly critical,” Gallup’s Julie Ray
In Europe, U.S. leadership dipped from 42 percent in 2011 to 36 percent for last year. Most in Europe expressed disapointment in Obama's performance and partially blame him for leading the free world into debt and high unemployement. Many who had strongly supported Obama in 2008, now feel Bush was a more ethical leader who followed through on what he said he as going to do, they feel the World would have been better off if Bush was still President. 68% felt Obama is in over his head as President and would be suited in a university environment.
The Gallup poll included 1,000 individuals in 130 countries last year, and pollsters said that with 95 percent confidence that the margin of error is as high as plus or minus 4.8 percentage points, reflecting the influence of data weighting.
