Austrians Call U.S. President Bush Unpleasant

(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Few adults in Austria hold positive feelings for the president of the United States, according to a poll by OGM. 83 per cent of respondents think George W. Bush is unpleasant. On Jun. 21, Bush participated in the European Union (EU) and United States summit in Austria. In his remarks to reporters, Bush said, "I reminded my fellow leaders here that the terrorists still want to strike and they want to do harm, and we have an obligation to work very closely together." 86 per cent of respondents believe the U.S.-led war on terrorism has been unsuccessful so far.

Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel said the meeting had been "very fruitful and positive," adding, "In our common responsibility to promote stability and security for our citizens and the world, the European Union and the United States successfully work together. There are recent examples for our good cooperation."
