Europeans Really Don't Like Mitt Romney

[cali]

According to new international polling data, the majority of Europeans would like to see Barack Obama voted in for a second term. Meanwhile, his Republican opponent Mitt Romney is still a virtual unknown across the pond.

Der Spiegel reported Wednesday that according to a new poll conducted by Transatlantic Trends - commissioned by the German Marshall Fund - 82% of Europeans have a favorable opinion of President Obama. Although, his foreign policy approval rate in Europe has dropped by 12 points - from 83% to 71% - since his inauguration in 2009.

Somewhat worryingly, 38% of those surveyed weren't even sure who Romney was, with a further 39% having an unfavorable view of the Republican nominee.

The poll shows that if Europeans could vote in November's election, 75% would vote for Obama while only 8% would vote for Romney.

2. The British very definitely don't like him.

He made one gaffe after another when he visited London. Definitely no diplomat!

Though Americans have every right to point out that we haven't done that well ourselves, as we managed to get ourselves such leaders as Cameron, Clegg the Dreg, the idiot Osborne, Jeremy Hunt, and other twerps. Including Liam Fox, who among much else has been supporting and giving advice to the Romney campaign - hopefully it's bad advice, as he's utterly stupid.

3. I don't like him either.

He once tried to campaign as a progressive Republican but has since changed his tune. The man has no moral center.

5. More troubling:

Americans don't either!
