International Poll Finds Support Ebbing for U.S. Policy

LONDON, Oct. 15 Ã¢â‚¬â€ It is getting down to the wire and the rest of the world is still trying to elbow its way into the American presidential election.

With the professed goal of showing how the United States "is perceived by the rest of the world," 10 leading newspapers around the globe today published the results of public opinion surveys in their countries, where residents in eight of them said they strongly favored Senator John Kerry in the race for the White House.

The surveys also found that opinions of the United States had worsened during President Bush's tenure in each of the countries except Israel.
