    it's readers of the economist voting, not people of the world
    . Voters in The Economist's Global Electoral College favoured the Democratic candidate over his Republican rival, John McCain, by more than five to one. Some 52,000 readers around the world cast a vote, with more than 44,000 votes going to Mr Obam

    real polls with real world people
    http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/09/2360240.htm?section=world
    All 22 countries covered in the poll would prefer to see Senator Obama elected US president ahead of Republican John McCain.

    In 17 of the 22 nations, people expect relations between the US and the rest of the world to improve if Senator Obama wins.

    More than 22,000 people were questioned by pollster GlobeScan in countries ranging from Australia to India and across Africa, Europe and South America.


    "That people abroad think an Obama presidency would improve US relations with the world will have no effect on American voting patterns in the least, but it will serve as an important indicator of how we can expect the world to sit with our decision, or what foot Obama or McCain will start off with–whichever candidate we choose."
