by Bitania Firew, Addis Fortune, Ethiopia - The overwhelming support for Obama in Ethiopia is no different from the global result; if it was up to the rest of the world, Obama would have secured the presidency winning 90pc of the world's votes. This was confirmed by another poll the BBC took on September 10, 2008, covering 22 countries. It found out that if the world could vote, Obama would have a landslide victory.
