Almost everyone in France wants Obama re-elected

6/14/2012

​If President Obama's re-election bid fizzles, there'll always be Paris: France is bonkers about him. A staggering 92 percent of its citizens want him re-elected, according to a Pew Research Center survey. Germany isn't far behind, with 89 percent of those polled saying a second term is warranted, followed by Britain with 73 percent and Spain at 71 percent. Of all the European nations surveyed (between March 17 and April 20), Obama fared worst in Poland, where only 40 percent of its residents want to see him serve another four years. Can't win 'em all.
