Poll Shows 80% Dissatisfaction with U.S.
Okay, I lied. I figured a headline about America-bashing would get a higher posting in search engines. Truth is, this poll from Japan shows the exact opposite :
About once a year, the [U.S.] embassy contracts a business in Japan to conduct a survey to measure Japanese attitudes toward Americans and the security alliance that allows 50,000 U.S. troops to live in the country.
This year’s poll, taken in May and June, showed 80 percent of the 1,012 adults surveyed across Japan favor the U.S. alliance — the fourth consecutive year that opinion increased, according to Andrew Lee, the embassy’s assistant press attaché.
I found this story on the Stars and Stripes website. Where did you think I found it, on AP or Reuters? (Now if there was a poll that showed how much America was disliked somewhere, you can be sure it would receive top notch coverage from those fine news sources.)

alright !
thanks for this...
also, i believe Barron's is coming out with an election forcast based on the economy.
they believe the Republicans will hold both houses of Congress...
they see it as tight, but the most interesting thing for me is, it puts a bit of a perspective to the liberal bias in polls.
wonder if a few self centered elite pundits who were premature in declaring defeat, will be proved wrong...
