From Harris Interactive (conducted: 4/29-5/6/09)

• Obama has a 78% approval rating in continental Europe.
• Obama's approval ratings continue to be even higher in the five largest European countries than in the United States.
• U.S. President Barack Obama, U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy of France all have lower ratings in their own country then they do when looking at an average of all six countries surveyed.

From France 24:

The new survey, conducted by Harris International for the I.H.T. and the cable news channel France 24, reinforces the results of one conducted a month earlier showing that about half of those surveyed expressed the most confidence in Mr. Obama's ability to solve the economic crisis, with Mrs. Merkel coming in second, at 22 percent.

The surveys found that a solid majority of people in the major Western democracies expect a rise in political extremism in their countries as a result of the economic crisis. Even in the United States and Italy, the two countries whose citizens are least likely to hold that view, fully 53 percent of those surveyed say more extremism is �certain to happen� or �probable� in the next three years.

�I believe there will be a rise in political extremism in the United States, particularly from the right, between now and the next presidential election,� said Robert J. Kepka of Addison, Illinois, one of the people surveyed who agreed to a follow-up interview by e-mail. He said he expected such a result, however, �not as a result of the current economic crisis, but rather the perceived erosion of conservative Christian values.�
