Default Poll Staes President is Popular in US; Moreso Abroad

"Barack Obama is even more popular abroad than he is at home, according to a new survey by the Pew Global Attitudes Project. Pew asked residents of 24 nations and the Palestinian Territories how much confidence they had in Mr. Obama do to the right thing in world affairs. Citizens of 10 countries rated Obama higher than Americans did.


Obama outpaces Bush


Some 74 percent of Americans said they had a lot or some confidence in the President’s ability on the world stage. That was a strong performance — double the score earned by former president George W. Bush in 2008.


But Obama’s standing among his fellow citizens was eclipsed in several cases by how he is viewed overseas. The president earned the highest confidence rating — 94 percent — in Kenya where his father was born. The president was born in Hawaii."

And this means what? Liberals are all about winning the beauty contest, rather than doing the right thing! It's the intentions that matter not the results!

I'm surprised how soon many people on the right have forgotten how many people on the left voted against George Bush rather than for Obama.

Bush did seem to have a lousy persona and a lot of PR problems. He was, in my opinion, a poor communicator on a relative basis.

Nice quote but when you look at approval ratings at the 7 month mark of each presidency(Bush and Obama) Bush has the higher rating. I would expect Obama to be viewed favoarably abroad since he is going to ruin our country which only benefits the terrorists and others.

The other socialist countries love him because we will soon be lower in everything than they are. His main job here is to destroy the U.S. Economy and defense and at that, he is doing a bang up job. Anyone with any sign of a brain can see where he is taking us, bankruptcy and total socialism , and that is if we are lucky, IMO we are already on the lower side of socialism. He should turn around and do the exact opposite of everything he has done so far. Even at that, it's probably to late.

Nice spin there--compare President Bush's popularity in the first 6 months to bho's, and you get?

That's because he is screwing up our country, not theirs, and he treats their socialist leaders like

A survey conducted by Pew about whether our current president is popular or not isn't all that far from having a survey conducted by the NRA about whether or not its members support the 2nd Amendment.

Pew is in the bag for nearly every liberal and environmental cause.
