Finns back Kerry for president of U.S
HELSINKI, Finland Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Democratic candidate John Kerry would defeat U.S. President Bush in a landslide if only the election was being held in Finland. In a poll by Gallup Suomen for Helsingin Sanomat, 71 percent of those surveyed preferred the senator and only 13 percent backed the Republican president. The poll found the Kerry preference holds across regional and social lines. Even among conservatives, only 22 percent of members of the National Coalition Party like Bush. Questioned on their attitudes, 64 percent said they are more negative about the United States under Bush, and 78 percent say that Finland's current leaders are maintaining the correct relationship with Washington. A majority, 59 percent, do not believe that the U.S. election's outcome will have much impact on Finland, whoever wins. Posted by: Mark Espinola 2004-10-01 |
