Europeans unhappy about Bush's reelection
This is surprising. Really.
Even if the Democrats are in the minority of Americans in opposing Bush, I suppose they can take some solice in the fact that they are joined by the rest of the world in disapproving of the current President.
President Bush's re-election was viewed negatively by a majority of people in several European countries — including those in Britain, America's strongest ally in the war in Iraq, Associated Press polling found.Link.
The president was not the only one viewed unfavorably. Americans generally were seen in an unfavorable light by many in France, Germany and Spain, countries not supportive of U.S. Iraq policies.

Polling in the United States as well as Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Spain was done for the AP by Ipsos, an international polling company.
As reflected by his re-election, a majority in the United States viewed Bush favorably. Just over half in this country said they were hopeful and were not disappointed after Bush's re-election.
At least seven in 10 in France, Germany and Spain said they have an unfavorable view of President Bush. Just over half of the French and Germans said they have an unfavorable view of Americans in general, and about half of Spaniards felt that way.
Even if the Democrats are in the minority of Americans in opposing Bush, I suppose they can take some solice in the fact that they are joined by the rest of the world in disapproving of the current President.
