U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2012
OBAMA BEATS ROMNEY GLOBALLY BY A LANDSLIDE DESPITE CLOSE RACE AT HOME
UPI/C-Voter/WIN-Gallup International poll shows 81% global support for Obama and only 19% global support for Romney
Zurich, 11 September 2012 : Approximately 46% of the worlds
youth want to vote in U.S. Presidential elections. 57% say the American President heavily impacts lives in their countries. A global straw poll among over 26,000 men and women in over 30 countries shows that if an election was held this week, Obama will face tough competition from his republican challenger, Mitt Romney at home but will win a landslide in the rest of the world. Globally, among those who choose one of the two candidates, 81% would favor Obama and 19% Romney.
In the UPI world poll conducted by CVoter/Win-Gallup International, the strongest level of support for Obama was seen in among the population of Iceland, Netherlands, Portugal, Germany and Ireland. On the other hand Romney received clear preference over Obama among Israel citizens and his strongest supporters came from the population of Pakistan, Georgia, Macedonia and China. Nine weeks before the U.S. presidential elections, a world-wide sample of over 26,000 men and women were asked: How much does a U.S. President impact life in your country? As much as 63% said it was high or very high while 29% thought otherwise. Less than one in ten, 9%, were uncertain or said they didn't know.
236

But when asked if they thought, given the impact of U.S. president's decision on life in their country, would they seek voting rights in the U.S. presidential election, 42% across the world said yes, with the number among men and women under the age of 30 rising to 46%. Only 23% over the age of 65 want to vote. The largest numbers of supporters of this idea are in China, Kenya and India. The support is considerably lower in Japan and South Korea.
SYNOPSIS:
1. RIGHT TO VOTE IN U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The United States' soft power expresses itself through the worlds desire to seek the right to vote in the U.S. presidential elections, as 46% of global youth under 30 and 42% of the population at large says they want the right to vote in that election. 2. IMPACT OF U.S. PRESIDENT ON LIFE ACROSS THE WORLD The global demand of the right to vote in U.S. presidential elections is strongly linked to the view that the decisions made by the American President affect life across the world. Of the more than 26,000 men and women polled, 62% said the impact on the daily life of their country is either very high or high. GLOBAL SUPPORT FOR OBAMA AND ROMNEY The survey estimates that if the U.S. presidential elections were held globally, 63% claim they would turn-out to vote for either of the two candidates: Obama or Romney. Even though the two seem neck-to-neck among voters at home, Obama's prospects would be much brighter with a global electorate by 81%-19%.

GLOBAL APATHY AND ANTIPATHY While two-thirds of the world (63%) wants to vote for either of the two candidates, the remaining one-third is divided by feelings of apathy and antipathy. 20% say they dont care or know about the U.S. presidential elections. About 18% expressed antipathy or hostility saying they do not think highly of either nominee.
5.
THE ROLE OF NATIONAL INTEREST, POLICY CHOICES AND COMPETENCE IN GLOBAL VOTING BEHAVIOR It is remarkable that only 23% of global voters who want to elect an American President say their own national interest is a key driver. A large number of 30% attribute it to policies of a candidate related to global economy and security, while 41% attribute it to competence and other personal characteristics of the candidate.
The poll was conducted by the oldest and the largest network of opinion pollsters affiliated with WIN in 32 countries covering more than 55% of the worlds population.
Commentary by Jean-Marc Leger (President WIN-Gallup

International, the network which runs the annual barometer of opinions since 1977) Opinion polls and market research surveys measure not only attitudes and behavior but also the aspirations of consumers and citizens. Our industry has discovered over the years that measuring aspirations provides an important insight into the future behavior of consumers. This particular survey concerns political and electoral
536

aspirations in a globalized world. As the world moves towards becoming one political space, more and more citizens seek to influence its decision making. Our global poll shows a keen desire across the world to seek influence in American presidential elections, because of the view that the American President enjoys clout much beyond his national borders. This maverick finding from a global poll may be seen by Americans in both ways, an intrusion into their sovereign world or an evidence of their soft-power across the globe. The US election will impact the world and people from all regions prefer the Obama approach to the Romney one.
METHODOLOGY:
The findings are based on a global flash-poll. More than 26,000 men and women were interviewed across 5 continents. They were sampled statistically (probability samples) in more than 30 countries, covering most of the G-20 nations and others in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. The flash poll across the world was conducted in less than 15 working days, mostly during August 20-September 5, 2012. Field work was done face-to-face, via telephone and online as identified in the Methods Report. Sample Size and Mode of Field Work: A total of 26,012 persons were interviewed globally. In each country a national probability sample of around 1,000 men and women was interviewed either face to face (7 countries; n=7,145), via telephone (15 countries; n=9,749) or online (10 countries; n=9,120). Details are attached. In general the error margin for surveys of this kind is +3-5% at 95% confidence level. Weighting: The global average has been computed according to the share of the covered adult population of the surveyed countries.
