Obama An Overwhelming Hit With Chinese: Poll

From China Daily:

Barack Obama may be leading the US presidential race against John McCain by only about 10 percent in his country, but he enjoys a much higher rating in China.

A Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released Wednesday gave the Democratic presidential nominee a 10 percent lead over his Republican rival.

But an online poll conducted on China Daily’s website by the US embassy, shows Obama enjoys the support of 75 percent among the Chinese.

A Horizon Research survey released Wednesday showed about 35.5 percent Chinese “pay close attention” to the US presidential race. Even among these people, Obama’s supporters exceed McCain’s by 17.8 percent,
