Results of China ( Obama or Clinton) Poll:

80 Chinese polled---

40 people polled--Ages 20 to 35 male and female, working class, from most rural areas of mainland China, some higher education ---40 % picked Clinton as the nominee. 40% didn't know and didn't care. 20% Obama.

10 people polled-- Ages 35 to 55 male and female, working class,

60% not sure and 30% Clinton and 10% Obama.

10 people polled----Ages 35 to 55 male and female, educated, well read, owns companies or in upper management with their employer. 80% not sure because they say it is hard to get unbiased information from the Chinese TV and other media sources. 10% for Obama 10% for Clinton.

In summary, most Chinese think either nominee will show a "good face" to America! It is amazing when you compare these results to the demographics of the person who votes for Obama and the voter picking Clinton.
