| People around the world, including India, have more confidence in Democrat Barack Obama than in Republican John McCain to make the right desicions on world affairs as the next US president, a new survey suggests.
In India, Obama leads McCain by 33 to 28 percent, according to the survey by the Pew Global Attitudes Project.
Respondents across the world generally believe that US foreign policy may well change for the better if Obama became the next president instead of McCain.
McCain is rated lower than Obama in every country surveyed, except for the US, where his rating matches Obama's, and Jordan and Pakistan, where few people have confidence in either candidate.
Obama's advantage over McCain is overwhelming in West European countries surveyed. Eighty-four percent of the French say they have confidence in Obama to do the right thing regarding world affairs, compared with 33 percent who say that about McCain.
The differences in ratings for Obama and McCain are about as large in Spain and Germany, and are only somewhat narrower in Great Britain.
The survey, which covered 24,000 people in 24 countries between March 17 and April 21, found considerable interest in the US presidential campaign.
It also finds a widespread belief that US foreign policy ''will change for the better'' after the inauguration of a new American president.
Among the people who have been following the election, large majorities in France (68 percent), Spain (67 percent) and Germany (64 percent) say they believe that US foreign policy will improve after the election.
This sentiment is also common in the African countries included in the survey - Nigeria (67 percent), South Africa (66 percent) and Tanzania (65 percent).
