Barack Obama is the world's preferred choice for president of the United States by far, according to the results of a first-ever global presidential poll conducted by Reader's Digest magazine and published in the November issue, which is available on newsstands on October 21. The poll, part of the cover story "How the World Sees Us" by Reader's Digest Washington Bureau Chief Carl Cannon, asked 17,000 people in 17 countries, including the United States, whom they would like to see in the White House in January, and to weigh in on the global issues they most care about. They were also asked to characterize how America is perceived abroad, revealing surprising findings, especially among our closest neighbors.
