The overall score being 81% in favour of the current president and just 19% preferring the Republican challenger Romney. China is the only country that would prefer Romney as the next President of the United States, giving him 52% of the vote compared to 48% for Obama. In Britain Obama grabbed a whopping 85% of the vote. Duncan Hooper, managing editor of MSN News & Sport, says: "Mitt Romney lost all hope of winning Britons' hearts after suggesting the country wasn't ready to host the Olympics. He made so many gaffes during a visit to London that it became known as the 'Romneyshambles'. "On the other hand, Barack Obama is still remembered as the man who represented a significant and welcome change in direction after the much maligned George W Bush's eight years in the White House. Obama's struggles on the domestic scene have gone largely unreported over here compared with his dignified and well-timed overseas visits.
