In the course of a Canadian Broadcating Corporation program on the US

a similar result would be found in many countries.
It wasn't just Canada. The
Sydney Morning Herald, and numerous other
International papers did the same poll and got similar results. I can find
the article if you want because I read it just the other day. It was on the
front page!
The presentation given here is a bit misleading; in the poll in question,
while 22% said they'd vote for Bush, only 60% said they'd vote for Kerry.
