That’s what the results of an ICM poll say…
America is now seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbours and allies, according to an international survey of public opinion published today that reveals just how far the country’s reputation has fallen among former supporters since the invasion of Iraq.
Carried out as US voters prepare to go to the polls next week in an election dominated by the war, the research also shows that British voters see George Bush as a greater danger to world peace than either the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, or the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Both countries were once cited by the US president as part of an “axis of evil”, but it is Mr Bush who now alarms voters in countries with traditionally strong links to the US.

Two days before the midterm elections and still no Republican bumper stickers, signs, banners. And this is one of their bunker areas. What Victorian novelists would call a preternatural calm.
@Jimbo: Thanks for the links.
Btw what do you think is the reason behind this calm?
