It would appear Barack Obama’s candidacy for President has a popular edge over John McCain’s outside the US among those queried. Probably because John McCain didn’t go on a whirlwind rock star tour. McCain is probably more concerned with what Americans think of their government than what the rest of the world thinks.

Democrat Mr Obama was favoured by a four-to-one margin across the 22,500 people polled in 22 countries.

It is interesting to note however, when you stack the electoral votes allocated to each of the countries whose citizens were polled, Obama and McCain are dead even.

Here’s a complete list of the countries included in the poll, along with the number of electoral votes in each:

Australia (0)
Brazil (0) 
Canada (0)
