A majority of Labour voters welcome President George Bush's state visit to Britain which starts today, according to November's Guardian/ICM opinion poll.


The survey shows that public opinion in Britain is overwhelmingly pro-American with 62% of voters believing that the US i "generally speaking a force for good, not evil, in the world". It explodes the conventional political wisdom at Westminster that Mr Bush's visit will prove damaging to Tony Blair. Only 15% of British voters agree with the idea that America is the "evil empire" in the world.

I couldn't find the actual article this guy is posting here from the Gaurdian's home page - it sounds legit and the that URL with the Poll PDF is valid.

So 38% of britons don't agree that the U.S. is "generally speaking a force for good, not evil, in the world". And that's suppose to be a good thing?
