The Economist has created a global virtual electoral college with each country represented according to the size of its population. The votes will not really count for the US election of course, but the results could be revealing all the same.
Will the world divide into a clear pattern of “red” countries and “blue” ones? Who is your country supporting? And how do readers around the world, given the chance to comment, view the candidates and the issues? Log on now and find out.
So far, Democratic candidate Barack Obama is winning the poll by 8,932 to 130 electoral college votes.
The Global Electoral College is running alongside The Economist’s regular coverage of the election and its blog dedicated to American politics, “Democracy in America”.
