Poll shows world anti-Bush

LONDON (Reuters) - A majority of people surveyed in a global poll think the re-election of George W. Bush as U.S. president has made the world more dangerous and many view Americans negatively as well, says the BBC.
The survey by the broadcaster published on Wednesday showed that only three countries -- India, the Philippines and Poland -- out of 21 polled thought the world was safer following Bush's election win in November.

Traditional U.S. allies in western Europe, such as Britain (64 percent), France (75 percent), and Germany (77 percent), were among the most negative about Bush's re-election.
A majority in Italy (54 percent) and Australia (61 percent), which both have troops in Iraq, also thought his win had made the world more dangerous.
Anti-Bush sentiment was strongest in Turkey, with 82 percent thinking his win was bad for peace compared to just 6 percent in support. A large majority in Latin American countries, including 58 percent in close neighbour Mexico, were also negative.
Analysts said the poll had far-reaching implications, suggesting a serious rise in anti-U.S. feeling in general, with 42 percent saying it had made them feel worse about Americans compared to 25 percent who made it think more of them.

"Our research makes very clear that the re-election of President Bush has further isolated America from the world."
The survey found that 47 percent of those questioned now see U.S. influence in the world as largely negative.

Has there EVER been anyone who has caused the world to hate us this much?! Truly incredible, especially considering the outpouring of support after 9/11. So, bush took a tragedy that because of its horrific nature brought us unparalleled support and, while endlessly referencing that tragedy, managed to make the world hate us! Well, I guess that's a legacy!
