David Shuster is guest hosting Hardball today and just took down Fouad Ajami of the notorious Wall Street Journal Op-Ed comparing Scooter Libby to a fallen soldier.

I found today at the nytimes website an obscure article that was buried in the business section. While I didn't care for the article itself, as it was too oriented toward the opinion of business leaders, the poll itself fascinated me. I googled for links and found these from the World Economic Forum and from Yale Global Online along with several others.  I haven't found or seen the PDF file for results, but perhaps someone else found these and will enlighten us where they might be available.

The poll was conducted by Gallup international and had a sample size of 50,000 world wide. It's called the Voice of the People Survey and it had some interesting results.  
I'll list just a few of them as a teaser below the fold.
