If Barack Obama were running for leader of the world, instead of leader of the US, he would probably romp home.
The annual global survey of attitudes by the independent Pew Research Centre shows that the Democratic nominee for president has won the confidence of people in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia and is strongly preferred as president of the US over his rival, the Republican John McCain.
In Australia, 80 per cent of participants said they had confidence in Senator Obama, against 40 per cent for Senator McCain.
Similar results were reported from Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Japan and Tanzania.
American participants in the survey gave the two senators roughly equal scores.
The poll results came as a presenter on Fox News television was taken off air after she accused Senator Obama and his wife, Michelle, of greeting each other with a "terrorist's fist jab".
E. D. Hill made her comment after the presumptive Democratic nominee and his wife affectionately bumped fists on stage last week as he prepared to make his victory speech.
