Europeans Seen Favoring a Democrat Win in US Election
October 23, 2012
Voters in the United States will soon be heading to the polls to elect the country’s president, but around the world many non-U.S. citizens hold their own opinions about who should win the election. Citizens in London are keeping an eye on a vote they view as impacting their own lives.
They may not have any say in the U.S. vote -- but many Britons know their mind. Barack Obama is a firm favorite for re-election, as many people on the streets of central London said.
“I hope Obama wins. I would have thought naturally I would have been a Republican, but Mitt Romney is a frightening figure, and his running mate is even more frightening,” one man said.
“If I was American, I would vote Obama,” said a woman
Obama’s competitor, Mitt Romney, also has his fans. One woman supports his stance on abortion. “I think that the pro-lifers are really the ones I would go with,” she sa.d
Democrat Obama and Republican Romney will go head-to-head in the presidential vote on November 6. Recent polls have shown it is a close race.
But in many European countries, it is a different story. A recent poll found that in Britain, France and Germany, only one in 20 people held a positive view of Romney. In Germany, half the population said they would feel less favorably towards the United States if Romney were to win.
