Obama Has Massive Lead in Global Poll

It is not even close: In a world poll of the U.S. presidential race, President Barack Obama is the clear favorite over Governor Mitt Romney. By a margin of 50-9 percent, Obama is favored in the poll of 21,797 respondents in 21 countries around the world.

The poll was conducted by the BBC, and did not sample folks in America, where the polls show a much tighter race.
