opinion polls

Just a cursory glance at the 2012 presidential contest revealed, once again, that we live in a deeply divided nation.

A new CBS News/New York Times/Quinnipiac University swing state poll finds President Barack Obama leading Gov. Mitt Romney by 6 percentage points or more in Florida (51–45), Ohio (50–44), and Pennsylvania (53–42). Differences of 6 points in Florida and Ohio and 11 points in Pennsylvania are statistically significant.

For the last 18 months, opinion polls in France have been indicating that President Nicholas Sarkozy will likely fail in his bid for re-election this year.

Recent public opinion poll in China shows majority of Chinese blame the US for tensions on Korean peninsula. This is not surprising.
