Here is what The Economist has to say on this mock poll:
With America's presidential election fast approaching, everyone wants to have their say on who should take over in the White House—and now you can. From now until November 1st, you will be able to vote for your choice of the next American president in our mock global election.
Votes are cast on a country-wide level. Each country is assigned a number of votes according to the size of its population (we call these "electoral-college votes" on the model of America's actual electoral-college system). Then all the countries' votes are tallied, to determine each candidate's worldwide total. You can see at a glance which countries are pro-Obama or pro-McCain, along with their respective vote percentages. The candidate with the most electoral-college votes will win the worldwide election. Of course our winner may not be the actual winner in the real election though it will be interesting to see who The Economist's readers choose.
Don't miss the chance to have your say. Join the worldwide election and vote now.
