Global Poll Shows Negative Reaction to Bush Win

Wed Jan 19, 8:26 AM ET Top Stories - Reuters


By Michael Holden

LONDON (Reuters) - A majority of people surveyed in a global poll think the re-election of George Bush (news - web sites) has made the world more dangerous and many view Americans negatively as well, the BBC said Wednesday.



The survey by the British broadcaster 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.


Bush will be inaugurated for his second term Thursday.


On average across all countries, 58 percent of the 22,000 surveyed said they believed Bush's re-election made the world more dangerous.


"This is quite a grim picture for the U.S.," said Steven Kull, director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes at America's University of Maryland.
