Obama is most popular politician among Canadians, beats Stephen Harper and Hillary Clinton

The U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama surpasses Prime Minister Stephen Harper to become Canadians' favorite politician, according to poll released Monday. The survey, conducted by the Strategic Counsel in the United States and Canada, showed that in Canada, Obama was more admired than Prime Minister Stephen Harper and any other national leader. Obama got the support of 26 percent respondents, followed by Harper at 21 percent, Hillary Clinton at 16 percent, leader of opposition New Democratic Party Jack Layton at 9 percent, leader of opposition Bloc Quebecois Gilles Duceppe at 6 percent. Leader of Canada's biggest opposition group the Liberal Party Stephane Dion got only 5 percent while John McCain, the U.S. Republican presidential candidate was the last with 3 percent. The poll showed Obama appealed to people across Canada's political spectrum, with 24 percent of conservative-minded voters choosing him and 28 percent of liberal thinkers. Some people say it is an acknowledgment of the phenomenal nature of Obama's appeal. "He really is a prototype of his own, he's broken the mold," said Peter Donolo from the Strategic Counsel. Meanwhile, in Canada there is a fatigue with the nature of politics in Ottawa, the very cranky, minority-government style politics, he said.

obama 2012!!!

[kidballistic]

I am sure he is now the most hated in Canada. The admired his bullshit the most, please stop zombie voting for dems/reps. Infact, in light of the last two I think it is easy to now say that they are the same party with a bit of smoke and mirrors. Basicly, you are a dumbass if you don't vote for Ron Paul this next time around.
