If citizens of all countries could participate in the US presidential election, Kamala Harris would win on the world stage, according to a poll conducted late last month by Gallup International. The survey covered more than 41 thousand people on all continents. According to their results, 54% of those surveyed would vote for Harris, while only 26% would prefer Donald Trump. Another 21% could not decide between the two candidates.
Harris would receive particularly strong support in Latin America, Western Europe and parts of Eastern Europe. Among European countries, the highest rates of sympathy for Harris were seen in Denmark (85%), Norway (81%), Finland (82%) and Germany (73%). In the United Kingdom, his support also turned out to be significant: 58% compared to Trump’s 27%.
However, Trump would enjoy significant support in Serbia (59%) and Israel (58%), where his popularity is significantly higher. He also sympathizes with him in Hungary and Bulgaria (49% each), and in the Czech Republic support is almost evenly divided between the candidates, where 43% supported Harris and 37% supported Trump. In other countries, such as Georgia, Kazakhstan and Moldova, respondents also tended to support Trump.
Gender differences in preferences were also notable: among men, 52% would choose Harris and among women, 56%. At the same time, Trump would have the support of 31% of men and 20% of women. It is also interesting that young people under 34 were more likely to support Trump (31%), while among people over 55 their support was only 20%. This picture differs markedly from the situation in the United States, where age preferences are reversed.
Education turned out to be another important factor. 61% of those with a high level of education would vote for the Democratic candidate, compared to 46% of those with a low level of education. Trump would be popular among respondents with lower levels of education.
Interestingly, Muslims showed more sympathy for Trump (30%) than Christians (28%), despite his policies aimed at limiting immigration from Muslim countries and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In Muslim countries such as Iraq, Kazakhstan and Syria, Trump would also enjoy significant support: 53%, 49% and 49% respectively.
The impact of the US elections on the situation in their own country worried 83% of South Koreans, 79% in Kosovo and 68% in Italy. In Russia, Finland, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, less than 25% of respondents indicated possible consequences. Iranians are the ones who expect the least change: only 3% of whom believe that the result of the US elections could affect their country, despite the fact that Iranian authorities closely follow the electoral situation in the United States.
Kursor previously reported that Trump made an unexpected statement on Election Day.
Trump urged his supporters to get in line, pointing out that radical communist Democrats are counting on voters to cave in and leave.
