Global Poll onAMERICAN ELECTIONS: 2012the life of your country? 63% said it was high or very high; while29% thought otherwise; 9% were uncertain or said they did notknow. But the surprising answer came when the Question wasfollowed by a probing query: Given your assessment of how muchthe American President affects the life in your country, would yousay people in your country should have the right to vote inAmerican elections? 42% across the world wanted that right. Theaspiration to vote in American elections is particularly strikingamongst the youth of the world. 46% of them (men and womenunder 30 years of age) want the right to vote in Americanelections. In contrast, only 23% over the age of 65 demand votingrights in American Elections. The right to vote gets higher support inChina, Kenya and India. Its support is considerably lower in Japan,Korea and the Hong Kong.HIGHLIGHTS OF FINDINGSA world-wide poll conducted by WIN-Gallup International, anetwork of the world’s top most independent pollsters, askedexactly the same questions in 32 countries across the globe.Page 3 of 42

Global Poll onAMERICAN ELECTIONS: 2012SYNOPSIS:1.RIGHT TO VOTE IN AMERICAN ELECTIONSAmerica’s soft power expresses itself through the world’sdesire to seek the right to vote in American elections, as 46%of global youth under 30 and 42% of the population at largesays they want the right to vote in America’s Presidentialelection.2.IMPACT OF AMERICAN PRESIDENT ON DAILY LIFE ACROSS THEWORLDThe global demand of the right to vote in American electionsis strongly linked to the view that the decisions made by theAmerican President effect daily lives in other countries acrossthe world. According to this survey of more than 26,000 menand women, 62% of the world says the impact on the dailylife of their country is either very high or high.3.GLOBAL SUPPORT FOR OBAMA AND ROMNEYThe survey estimates that if American elections were heldglobally, 63% claim they would turn-out to vote for either ofthe two candidates: the incumbent Barack Obama or theRepublican challenger Mitt Romney. Even though the twoseem to tie neck and neck among the American public, theprospects of Obama are much brighter in a globalelectorate, among which he beats Romney by a widemargin: among those who choose one of the twocandidates, 81% favor Obama and 19% favor Romney.Page 4 of 42

Thus,20% say they don’t care or don’t know about Americanelections. The analysts of the global group of pollstersPage 5 of 42

Global Poll onAMERICAN ELECTIONS: 2012attribute that to Apathy. In addition, a section of the worldconstituting 18% expresses feelings of anti-apathy or hostilityby saying they do not think highly of any of the twocontenders and would vote for ‘Neither’. The pollsters haveattributed this to Antipathy or hostility.5.THE ROLE OF NATIONAL INTEREST, POLICY CHOICES ANDCOMPETENCE IN GLOBAL VOTING BEHAVIOURIt is remarkable that only 23% of global voters who want toelect an American President say their ‘own national interest’is a key driver. A large number of 30% attribute it to policiesof a candidate related to global economy and security,while 41% attribute it to competence and other personalcharacteristics of the candidate.The poll was conducted by the oldest and the largest network ofopinion pollsters affiliated with WIN in 32 countries covering morethan 55% of the world’s population.CommentarybyJean-MarcLeger(President WIN-GallupInternational, the network which runs the Annual barometer ofopinions since 1977)“Opinion polls and market research surveys measure notonly attitudes and behavior but also the aspirations ofconsumers and citizens. Our industry has discovered overthe years that measuring aspirations provides animportant insight into the future behavior of consumers.This particular survey concerns political and electoralaspirations in a globalized world. As the world movestowards becoming one political space, more and morecitizens seek to influence its decision making.Page 6 of 42

Global Poll onAMERICAN ELECTIONS: 2012Our global poll shows a keen desire across the world toseek influence in American presidential elections,because of the view that the American President enjoysclout much beyond his national borders. This maverickfinding from a global poll may be seen by Americans inboth ways, an intrusion into their sovereign world or anevidence of their soft-power across the globe. The USelection will impact the world and people from all regionsprefer the Obama approach to the Romney one.”METHODOLOGY:The findings are based on a global flash-poll. More than 26,000men and women were interviewed across 5 continents. They weresampled statistically (probability samples) in more than 30countries, covering most of the G-20 nations and others in Asia,Africa, Europe and the Americas.
