Poll: Latin America Has Dismal View of Bush

[Khephra]

MIAMI (Reuters) - Latin Americans have a dismal opinion of President Bush after he ignored world opinion to wage war in Iraq, and against a backdrop of mistrust over U.S. aims in pushing for regional free trade, a poll published on Tuesday showed.

The University of Miami School of Business/Zogby International poll of Latin American elites found that only 12 percent of those questioned rated President Bush's performance on Latin America as positive.

In Brazil, Latin America's largest country, 98 percent gave the U.S. leader a negative mark.

In Mexico, President Vicente Fox has been frustrated in his quest to improve the lot of 3 million to 5 million Mexicans living illegally in the United States, just 5 percent gave Bush positive grades.

Does ANYONE actually like this guy???

[Brucey]

3. The world hates chimpy.

The only people who view this guy as okay are about 50% of US ignorant sheeple. They believe anything they're told by their "sources." Unbelievable and pathetic. Does one laugh or cry?

14. Is it working?

[Saudade]

7. Me too

I want to move to Brazil also.

I was there a few months ago, and everyone -- I mean EVERYONE -- I talked to considered Bush to be stupid, inept, vicious, trying to take over the world, horrible, etc. Thankfully, people treated me very well as soon as they understood that I'm not a Bush supporter.

9. Thats everywhere except for the U.S.

I think every other country except for ours feels that way: that Bush is a lunatic retard. But half our country for some reason, is in love with retarded lunacy... ;(

11. The same thing that kept the Soviets and Nazis from knowing the truth

Gleitschlaung ("bringing into line") of the media.

Corporate TV Pravda.

The Rise of Party Loyal Right-Wing Sub-Media.

Amerikan are trapped behind the Televised Curtain. Things are still mostly ok for the Little People for the moment but everyone is as misinformed and ill-informed as a 1967 Soviet Citizen.

15. Wanna get REALLY depressed?

We liked Clinton. A lot. That sex thing and the moralistic persecition that ensued only heightened our sympathy for the guy.

5. This can work to the Dem's side

Dem's should bring up the issue that the entire world hates us even more than they did before the Iraqui war.

However, I think it could only work with a candidate that was against the war.

8. President Fox could always take them back.

[Say_What]

10. No kidding!! Tell us something we DON'T know!! More meaningless news

12. hell-low!

Sorry but this is not news - it is common knowledge.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. I'm worried about those 2%

In a population of about 100 million adults, that's 2 million whackos! Too many!

[beanball]

16. All of the America's(north,south,and the islands too)

have a dim view of the dim wit.

[ozone_man]

17. Thank you Latin America.

So glad that the rest of the world can see through Bush, while Americans still seem confused. I'm sure that by election time, we will have Bush on the ropes.

[ElementaryPenguin]

18. Brazil's 2% Chimp approval rating is what we could have here...

Provided we had a free and independent mainstream press!!!

:puke:
