Europe to Bush: Go Away; Even British Prefer Kerry for President

Europe to Bush: Go Away; Even British Prefer Kerry for President: "A survey published this month by the Program on International Policy Attitudes in Washington, which conducts polls on global issues, found that Europeans overwhelmingly opposed Bush's re-election. Kerry was the favored candidate even in Britain, the Bush administration's closest ally. There, 47 percent of those interviewed said they would choose Kerry, compared with 16 percent for Bush.

Not surprisingly, anti-Bush feelings were strongest in countries whose governments have based their foreign policies on refusing to join the U.S.- dominated coalition in Iraq. In Germany, 74 percent said they would back Kerry, compared with 10 percent for Bush, while in France only 5 percent said they would vote for Bush, and 63 percent said they supported Kerry.

...
In Spain, Kerry's lead over Bush was only slightly narrower: 47 to 7 percent."


Thanks to On Becoming British for pointing me here.
