U.S. elections: A global view

A guide to the newspaper poll
Ten newspapers from around the world took part in a poll surveying attitudes toward the United States and the administration of George W. Bush, on the eve of the U.S. presidential elections.
By Shmuel Rosner

Bush bashing, but not in Israel
In examining the opinions of citizens from ten countries around the world regarding the Bush administration and Kerry candidacy, Israel stands alone.
By Shmuel Rosner

The Sydney Morning Herald / Australia: Also a preference for Kerry
Most Australians don't like George W. Bush and their opinion of the U.S. has deteriorated during his term as president - and we are not alone.
By Peter Hartcher

Le Monde / France: Only extreme right likes Bush
It could not be more clear: 72 percent of the French population hopes that John Kerry will be victorious in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to this newspaper poll. President George W. Bush is backed by only 16 percent.
By Claire Trean

The Guardian / Britain: Rising anti-Bush hostility
There is a growing strain of hostility toward the United States among British voters fueled by a strong personal antipathy toward President George Bush, according to a special Guardian/ICM poll. British back the Democrat challenger John Kerry against Bush by a margin of more than 2 to 1.
By Alan Travis

El Pais / Spain: A wealth of sympathy wasted
Judging by these polls, even though the opinions are not unanimous, the Bush administration is the main element responsible for having thrown away, throughout the last three years, the huge wealth of sympathy felt by the whole world toward the United States.
By Andres Ortega

Korea: America has fallen from grace
Anti-American sentiment has made headlines in the global press, but that feeling among Koreans, at least, is a relatively recent development. In the half-century since the Korean War, the security of South Korea has been almost completely dependent on the U.S.
By Young Hie Kim

The Moscow News / Russia: Gazing at America's star
Whoever is at the helm in the United States - whether the [Republican] elephant or the [Democratic] donkey, George W. Bush or John Kerry - anti-American sentiments have prevailed in Russia for years. This makes the results of a survey conducted by our newspaper truly sensational.
By Boris Yunanov

Reforma / Mexico: Rallying around an unknown
The name "Bush" is well known in Mexico. George W. Bush was the favorite candidate of most Mexicans back in 2000, and Mexico was the first foreign country that he visited as president. However, things have changed quite a lot for Bush.
By Alejandro Moreno

La Presse / Canada: Reserving the right to boo
Canada's hockey arenas have never had a reputation as forums of political unrest. So when Montreal fans last year began systematically booing the American national anthem, there was more to it than just a few troublemakers voicing their discontent.
By Yves Boisvert

Asahi Shimbun / Japan: Torn between two views
The Japanese view of the United States is complicated by the history between the two countries and what many see as the two faces of America. Since the end of World War II, the Japanese have admired the U.S. But there is another view: that the U.S. is a bully with aggressive policies.
