[skooooo]

PARIS (Reuters) - Just one percent of French people want Republican candidate John McCain to win the U.S. presidential election, and western Europeans overwhelmingly favor his rival Barack Obama, an opinion poll showed on Friday.

When asked which man they wanted to see elected, 78 percent of respondents in France backed Obama, compared with just one percent for McCain and five percent who said they wanted neither to win, the poll for television news channel France 24 found.

In Germany, where Obama held his rally, five percent of people supported McCain while 72 percent backed Obama.

In Britain, where the Labour government was Washington's closest ally, 11 percent of respondents said they wanted McCain to win the November 4 election, compared with 48 percent who favored Obama. Italian conservative Silvio Berlusconi, who sent troops to Iraq, is back in power as prime minister, but only 12 percent of those polled supported McCain while 66 percent of respondents backed Obama. Spaniards also favored Obama by a margin of 68 percent to McCain's eight percent.
