Tuesday is the U.S. presidential election campaign and if non-Americans were voting, U.S. President Barack Obama would likely come out the winner, according to a new poll.
The poll of almost 600,000 people in 36 countries found more than 4 out of 5 wanted Obama to win a second term as president.
The MSN survey found only 19 per cent wanted Mitt Romney to win.
Support for the republican challenger was highest in China.
In Canada, 83 per cent of respondents wanted Obama to win Wednesday’s presidential election, while just 17 per cent favoured Romney.
South of the border, the numbers aren’t as clear.
Americans surveyed in a new poll are virtually split when it comes to whom they want in the White House for the next four years.
