what percent of the world population hates George Bush, the president of the United States?
343589
I just asked everyone (all 6 billion of them) and the answer is 37.83%.  38% like him, 13% are neutral, and 11% don't care.  I'm in the last group.

I don't think people hate President Bush, but I do think they strongly disagree with his policies because those policies hurt America. On his watch, the budget surplus was given away as tax cuts to the rich instead of used to fortify Social Security or increase national defense.  Because he ignored Osama Bin Laden during the first 8 months of his term and ignored the memos about terrorists learning to fly airplanes, we were not prepared for the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. President Bush's policies ignore the advice of scientists, putting our health at risk and putting our environment at risk. Because of the systemic torture committed in Abu Gharib and across the world in our name, President Bush has damaged America's moral standing in the world. Because his administration really did not learn the lessons of 9/11, President Bush lost us an entire city, New Orleans. And while New Orleans was drowning, President Bush was literally playing guitar with a country rock star. The buck stops with the President. His behavior is confusing, and his policies have helped make us look weak and have left us open for disaster.

I will give you my opinion as a foreigner to the United States. I am from Guatemala, and the majority of people to whom I speak with, consider that since Mr Bush is in office, the United States is largely hated all around the world.  I hang out with a lot of tourists and volunteers and I can tell you that it is safer and nicer all around to have friends other than Americans.  The whole American mentality that you are the "Most powerful country in the world" is absolutely absurd.  Most powerful compared to what?  No country is powerful against the power of Nature, and Katrina, wild fires, Mudslides and other occurrences will prove me right.  A little humility would do you wonders.\nOf course this is not say that ALL americans are hateful.  The thing is that many are and they are actually very noisy and ocupying places of power at the moment, so they are more noticeable.  I pray for the day when things change for the better and we can all live like brothers in this world, because at this rate, we are going down....

I would say George W Bush, but I know some Americans are going to have a go at me if I do. Apparently it's fine for Americans to have it in for their own president, but not for an English person to. I also don't like the smarmy British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Please, read the questions that have already been answered first, instead of asking the same thing over and over.\nI will copy-paste my response to a similar question some days ago...\n\n"I hate Bush because:\n\n1 - He got elected despite having around 500,000 votes less than Gore, what makes him illegitimate and undemocratic.\n2 - He lied to the international community when he said that Iraq had WMDs, invading said country under false pretenses and without the support of the UN, or most of the international community, acting like the president of a rogue state, and doing so to be able to expand his lobbysts' (Halliburton, Lockheed-Martin, oil multinationals, etc.) economic interests in said country.\n3 - His economic policy of tax cuts is creating a situation of permament boom in the US economy, what in consequence makes the US deficit to grow larger everyday, causing the Dollar to devaluate and increasing US economic dependency with China. This situation will eventually cause the US economy to crash, when the Chinese can't finance the ever-growing US deficit anymore by buying dollars and the american economy enters in a bust cycle, thanks to skyrocketing unemployment and a low savings rate.\n4 - I don't live in the US, but as far as I know, he's also destroying the American school system, cutting taxes mostly for the rich, and allowing all US companies to close their factories and outsource all their labour production to sweatshops in Asia, effectively causing a rise in unemployment and a slow de-industrialization of the US mainland.\n5 - He has continued the American hypocritical policy on the Middle East by supporting dictatorial governments in Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and many others, just because these governments bow to western bussiness interests.\n6 - All oil wells in Iraq are operational, yet many large Iraqui cities remain without drinking water.\n7 - He initiated, under largely exaggerated or distorted pretenses (like portraying Al-Qaeda as a unified terrorist organization, which is a lie, since Al-Qaeda is just a political front that sponsors many small terrorist cells independent from each other), the so-called "War on Terror", which has served as an excuse for both western government to restrict civil rights (the patriot act, domesting evesdropping, shoot-to-kill policies in the UK), and for the Chinese government to crack down on Ughiur resistance. (Ughiur people are from East Turkestan, a country China invaded and brutally anexed in the 1950's, and whose people are now being persecuted under the false label of 'terrorists').\n8 - His policies in Iraq, the Middle East and elsewhere have actually helped to increase terrorism, not to reduce it.\n9 - His agressive foreign policy has propped rogue states like North Korea or Iran to adquire nuclear weapons, as a buffer from possible US agression against them.\n10 - For the fact that he is an alcoholic, a murderer, and a dumb person that has only risen to such high position thanks to his money, contacts, family and background.\n11 - Because, for all the reasons stated above, he has shown to be a puppet of US bussiness interests and large corporations.  "\n\nI hope those are enough reasons.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALSO: To the user who posted above me, who claims that \n"Bush and Blair want to destroy the 'bad guys' before they have a chance to do anything",\nI ask you...Why does the Bush administration support the dictatorships in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, then?\nAren't those 'bad guys' too? Or do you seriously believe that there are "good dictatorships" and "bad dictatorships"?\n\nIf Saddam was always evil, then why did the US supported him during the 1980's? Why did the US consider itself an ally of Saddam Hussein when he was gassing the Kurds in the 1980's?\nWhy did the US position change, coincidentally after Hussein decided to national

Given Bush's current approval rating (34-38%) and the way he has split America in two, he is a divider, not a uniter. Bush and his group of rich fat cats is no way in touch with the American people.

What's wrong with having a heart? This nation used to be a compassionate, caring world leader. Now George Bush has turned the USA into an 'evil empire' that no one trusts.

Yes it is, we was never very well liked in the world but now we are hated. Bush has made many enemys with his lies and actions.

I don't. In fact, the overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of President Bush. But many Americans believe that deposing Saddam Hussein will bring a new era of freedom and prosperity to Iraq and give the West a much-needed ally in that area. His supporters are more optimistic than most people about progress in Iraq and hopefully they'll turn out to be right.

Theres this last 30 percent of people that still like bush and they would continue to like him even if he ate kittens.  They blindly support him and anything bad about him or Iraq in the media is thrown aside by them.

If you were to take a survey, probably yes. As one of the largest and most prosperous nations in the world the U.S.A. can easily become the target of people who view it as "large and evil" in a sort of David and Goliath fashion.\n\nMore recently President Bush's poor foreign relations and diplomacy have caused even former allies to have negative feelings about the U.S.A. \n\nSo, if you were to do a worldwide survey, you would probably find that the U.S.A. is the country with the most visible presence, and thus one of the most hated.

That's a stupid question... every country has stupid people. You're a fucking retard. What country are you from? 'Cause you're obviously part of their STUPID population.\n\nAnd just so you know, Neilman, many Americans HATE Bush with a passion and definitely don't follow him or his beliefs. So grow up and open your fukcing mind. You're pathetic. And there's nothing we can do about Bush, except wait until his term's over. DOUCHE BAG!

The world hates Americans because they know we have a system of govt where the general population of citizens controls the govt 100%. The problem is, they don't realize how dumb and lazy us Americans are, and they actually THINK we use that authority of ours and we are telling our govt to do this. BUT, what they fail to understand is we ARE dumb and lazy and we just lie back and allow our government to do what it wants to uncontrolled.

Your question is out of date. It's really the president that people don't like and the fact that so many voted against him has already helped dissipate anti-Americanism among most people I know

as per the recent poll conducted by the guardian news paper, bush outranked the presidents of Iran and north Korea who are regarded as danger to world peace. the poll was conducted in Canada, Israel, the UK and the USA and in some countries he was second to osama. the peace loving , democratic people of the USA sent signals to the world that they do not approve bush's policy in Iraq. the number of civilians killed is not 150000 but more than 600000 and all third world countries must unite and denounce bush's policy in Iraq and bring pressure on the UN to establish an international tribune for the trial of bush for war crimes in Iraq.
