Hillary Clinton romps in world vote; Canada chooses Bernie Sanders; Donald Trump blown out

The customer-service site surveyed 18,256 adults in nine foreign countries, asking them to choose between Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for U.S. president.

The top vote-getter overall and in eight of the nine countries was Clinton, the Democratic front-runner and former U.S. secretary of state. She came out on top by wide margins in Germany, Spain, France, Japan, Great Britain, Brazil, Australia and Mexico. Clinton was most popular in Japan, where she took 63 percent of the pretend vote.

The outlier was Canada. It went for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has praised Canada's universal health-care system and some of its other liberal social programs. Sanders, who's been dogging Clinton throughout the Democratic presidential primaries, gained 31 percent support from our northern neighbor. Clinton came in at 29 percent.

Across the nine countries polled, Clinton took 46 percent of the vote, Sanders 14 percent, Trump 10 percent. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who has suspended his campaign, gained 4 percent. "Other" candidates made up the remaining 26 percent.
