If the World Voted, Who Would Win the U.S. Election?

Who would win the United States election if the world was the decider? That was a question three friends in Iceland asked and then put into place as a Facebook Group and then a web site survey.

The survey is a representation of 155 countries and a total of 56,209 votes at this time. Barack Obama is in the lead with 85.5% of the online votes. The Facebook Group claims 755 members. McCain has 100% of the voters in Azerbaijan, but that is the only nation that backs him completely. The most surprising lead of this survey is in the United States at 79.9% for Obama and only 14.8% for McCain. That rating widely differs from more main stream polling figures. According to Rasmussen Reports Obama has 48% of the vote. At CNN Obama is at 49% and McCain is at 44%. The goal of the Iceland poll is to have more people vote on it than vote in the last United States election. The three wanted to also see if the entire world was in charge of picking the next president who they would pick as a whole. There is only one vote allowed per computer. There is no political agenda behind these young men's survey, just a curious nation. The site is independent of all political parties, companies or hidden agendas. They also do not think that the world should be the ones to elect the leader of the United states. The site is worth checking out. It is rather interesting to see what other people in the world think voting wise when it comes to Obama and McCain.
