Old Polls: Bush barely more popular than Axis of Evil, America a threat to world peace

[JohnnyCougar]

I know this is an old global opinion poll, but it's very revealing. I know the world hates Bush, but I didn't know it was this bad. This poll is 1.5 years old, but I doubt much has changed since then.

Even Chavez, despite the world corporate media's slander and lie campaign, comes in solidly ahead of Bush. But here is another poll also taken around the same time:

This is absolutely sad, and it's not good news for American business interests. So even business-friendly conservatives should be against our insane, extremist, neoconservative foreign policy.
