Democrats' claim that most of the world detests the U.S. because of the Bush administration's unfavorable foreign policies
"Half" means %50.
Did you consider it doing well to get a %50 on a homework assignment or a test? 16 countries were surveyed of those countries, how many people? How many countries are there in the world and how many people?
People care about leadership in the world, why wouldn't they? No matter what country that might be.
The questions asked were not mentined. In addition the responses are not favorable Bush or McCain, except in South Africa. How many U.S. companies hire outsourced Indian labor?
"Anti-American attitudes were highest among those surveyed in Indonesia, the Netherlands, Spain and Canada."
"India and South Africa were the countries with the most positive opinions about the U.S."
"Respondents in 16 out of 17 countries said they were more likely to expect their view of the U.S. to improve if Obama is elected president. South Africa was the only foreign country where a McCain victory would have a slightly more positive impact on their image of the U.S."
"In response to a question about whether interviewees would consider moving to the U.S., respondents in India expressed the strongest interest -- 73 percent -- as did the majority of participants in South Africa, the Netherlands and France."
"Respondents in Poland, Russia, Indonesia and Australia were least likely to consider the move, according to the poll."
"The 16 foreign countries also varied greatly in the amount of attention given to the U.S. presidential election. Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Australia, and South Africa were among those countries that have generated the most interest in the election, while Brazil, Poland, Russia, India and Taiwan have paid the least attention."
