Poll: Time of the Tyrants

A new poll taken in 20 countries by WorldPublicOpinion.org  confirms the world's low opinion of President George W. Bush, but adds a shocking twist. No other major world leader with a global profile enjoys significantly greater trust abroad. In a sense, they're all Bushes now.

Across North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa, people were asked how confident they are in each leader to do the right thing regarding world affairs.

Question: I am going to read a list of political leaders from around the world. For each, tell me how much confidence you have in each leader to do the right thing regarding world affairs—a lot of confidence, some confidence, or no confidence.
