Australia - 92%
Brazil - 86%
Canada - 89%
Denmark - 96%
Finland - 93%
France - 94%
New Zealand - 93%
Portugal - 93.3%
Sweden - 93%
Does that represent some sort of conspiracy theorist Axis of Evil that I'm unaware of? The poll isn't even really the point, the point is the entire WORLD is universally hoping we elect Obama.

No, I meant it in a more general sense, those that are against us or those competing against us are more motivated to act or encourage us to act in a manner in their interest rather than ours.
