The percentage of Europeans who thought George W. Bush has done a good job as president was a single digit in each European country, compared with 28 percent of the American respondents.

Europeans and Americans seemed to agree that the United States is a much weaker country today than at the start of the Bush administration.

In every country except Italy, the Iraq war was deemed to be the most urgent foreign policy issue facing the next president; Italians listed the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in the Middle East as a higher priority.

Majorities in all countries, including America, said they believed that the United States posed a threat to world peace; 58 percent in Spain, 49 percent in France, and 48 percent in Britain and Germany said they believed that threat to be "major."
