A new study by the Pew Global Attitudes Project shows that nearly all countries polled have more confidence in U.S. Sen. Barack Obama than U.S. Sen. John McCain. McCain beats Obama by just one point in the United States and Jordan. This should bode well for Obama when he soon visits Europe, but he may face diplomatic hurdles in the Middle East, where confidence for either candidate is quite low.
The Pew Center cites a quip from Financial Times columnist Philip Stevens: "Europe can scarcely contain itself." According to Pew, Obama T-shirts have been spotted on the streets of Berlin and the Internet is full of Facebook groups with names like Brits for Barack and France 4Ob.
