It doesn’t matter if the rest of the world wants Obama

The BBC World Service has kindly taken the time to conduct an opinion poll which shows that Barack Obama has a higher overseas approval rating than his challenger Mitt Romney.
Quick question, why?
What difference does it make if 72% of the people surveyed in France prefer Obama to Romney, I doubt he’ll be using that piece of information on the election trail in the next fortnight.
Equally what does it matter if all those surveyed in Pakistan preferred Romney.
Then only people’s opinions who matter in the US election are US citizens that are eligible to vote, that’s it.
Maybe the BBC World Service could produce more stories focused on the US election from a US perspective rather than wasting our time with this sort of crap.
