One Third of Americans Think France Is a Military Enemy
World Net Daily | November 18 2004
A new poll reveals most Americans do not hold the nation
of France in high regard, with almost a third believing the European country
is an enemy of the U.S. in the war on terror.
According to the survey by Rasmussen Reports, 57 percent
of American voters have an unfavorable view of France, with 31 percent calling
Jacques Chirac's country an enemy. A plurality – 43 percent –
believe France's role is somewhere in between ally and enemy.
When presidential politics were taken into account, the
poll shows by a 77-to-11 percent margin, those who voted for President Bush
have an unfavorable opinion of France. Kerry voters are more evenly divided
– 42 percent of Kerry voters have a favorable opinion of that nation,
35 percent unfavorable. In addition, 43 percent of Bush voters called France
the enemy, while only 17 percent of Kerry supporters shared that view.
The numbers stand in stark contrast to feelings about Great
Britain. Seventy-eight percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of
Tony Blair's country while only 9 percent hold an unfavorable view. More
than four out of five Americans – 83 percent – view the UK as
an ally in the war on terror.
Rasmussen says Germany, Russia, and the United Nations
fall in between the extremes. Forty-four percent of Americans have a favorable
opinion of the U.N. while 42 percent have an unfavorable view. Thirty-three
percent believe the U.N. is our ally in the terror war, and 17 percent see
it as our enemy.
Again, there's a big difference between Bush and Kerry
backers, as 64 percent of Bush supporters have an unfavorable view of the
U.N., while 68 percent of Kerry fans hold a positive view of the global
body.
Forty percent of voters have a favorable opinion of Germany,
while 34 percent have an unfavorable view. For Russia, the numbers are 33
percent favorable and 38 percent unfavorable.
