GER-Infratest dimap/ARD: Germany's 140 EV solidly in the Obama column

Foreigners tend to give very whacky answers on political polls regarding other foreign countries. It's a very different experience, foreign politics and domestic politics. GOPers never do well in them, but Democrats tend to dominate expat communities, so I'm not particularly surprised. At least from what I've experienced, European immigrants in the USA seem to actually be somewhat more right-wing than the average American (or about where the average White American is).

Of course, I've seen this phenomenon not just in America. Americans in East Asian countries have a tendency of backing batsh**t insane parties out of lack of information/lack of understanding of the country.

A lot of foreigners, if pressed, tend to name Obama as a more preferred leader because Democrats do more overseas outreach and that the way you pay attention to politics is very different if you're from another country. And it's fairly common that people project their political spectrums on America, which may lead to misleading conclusions (like the idea that both parties are right-leaning).

That being said, I've never held a face-to-face conversation with a non-American about politics without convincing them that Obama was terrible.
