Economist polls: Even Saudi Arabia prefers Clinton
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDonald Trump has captured the hearts and minds of millions of Americans, but foreigners are mystified.
The Economist publishes polls from Thailand to Finland, Germany to Saudi Arabia. Clinton wins everywhere.

Trump even struggles among far-right European voters, losing to Clinton two-to-one among Alternative for Germany voters.
Only among UK Independence Party voters does Trump enjoy a 43-29 lead on Clinton. It may not be an accident that UKIP’s former leader Nigel Farage has lent a hand and campaigned for Trump in recent weeks.
