Support NeoGAF

[Macadinho94]

Irish voters are overwhelmingly in favour of Hillary Clinton becoming the next president of the United States, according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll.
Just 6 per cent of people said they would like to see Republican Party candidate Donald Trump elected president, as against a massive 82 per cent who expressed support for the Democratic nominee Ms Clinton – 12 per cent had no opinion.
The poll was carried out last Monday and Tuesday, before the latest controversy to engulf Mr Trump and before the second television debate between the two candidates.

Women voters were more strongly in favour of Ms Clinton than men, with just 3 per cent of them saying they would like to see Mr Trump being elected president, as compared to 8 per cent of men who took that view.
Across the social classes, the strongest support for Mr Trump came from farmers with 12 per cent backing his candidature as against 78 per cent for Ms Clinton.
Middle class voters were more enthusiastic about Ms Clinton than working class voters but there was still massive support for the Democratic Party candidate across all social classes.

Thought this was an interesting article yesterday, we got your back US GAF!

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Like pretty much all European countries except Greece. You'd still think Donald would have a fighting chance here if you believed Boards.

Guarantee that 12% is Youth Defence and Iona.

 

[Jarmel]

This should be how the US polls should look like.

 

[Izuna]

Um, no shit?

Ireland has some of nicest people in the world

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Um, no shit?

Ha ha haha nah.

 

[oti]

Maybe because they're afraid Trump will bring the companies to JUSTICE while #SHILLARY won't?!?!?!?

Just asking questions over here!!!!

 

[Nozem]

Um, no shit?

Ireland has some of nicest people in the world

Every country has some of the nicest people in the world.

Every country also has some of the shittiest people in the world.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Ireland is very anti-abortion like Poland so interesting.

Conor McGregor fans would vote Trump still.

 

[Izuna]

Every country has some of the nicest people in the world.

Every country also has some of the shittiest people in the world.

Yeah but US has more shittiest people.

 

[Lord Frieza]

I mean, honestly, it seems like almost every country outside North Korea and Russia would favor a Clinton presidency.

 

[Vagabundo]

We have our own political clowns here in Ireland, but Trump is a couple of steps beyond them.

 

[benjipwns]

How many electoral votes does Ireland have?

 

[E-Cat]

How many electoral votes does Ireland have?

Too few.

 

[RangerX]

I posted in the debate thread last night that I was at a friends house here in Ireland who supports Trump. He hated Clinton. But yeah the vast majority of people here, including myself, think the man is a borderline sociopath. Especially after watching the debate.

 

[TheSpoiler]

This should be how the US polls should look like.

After last night's "debates" I'll weep if they aren't.

 

[Fat4all]

Yeah but US has more shittiest people.

the best shittiest people.

 

[tuxfool]

After last night's "debates" I'll weep if they aren't.

Gather your tissues.

 

[El-Suave]

Trump would be in a courtroom defending his remarks in Germany, not running for office.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Nowhere in the world but in the US, Republican Nominee would be elected

 

[Little Old Man]

the best shittiest people.

Just the best shitty people. Believe me. The best.

 

[Dalibor68]

What's the point of this news / thread? It's already well known that most europeans would rather vote for Clinton and aside from that it doesn't really have any relevance at all what Ireland thinks.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

US so far don't have as many shittest people as the world originally thought.

 

[keuja]

Its quite telling that most of the countries that seem to back Trump are the ones with totalitarian regimes.

 

[Souldriver]

It's not really a surprise.

Most, if not all of the western world wants a Clinton presidency. It's only dictatorships and extreme regimes that want an incompetent windbag at the helm of the most powerful country in the world.

 

[gofreak]

The only relevance one can hope for is that within the more 'macho' elements of Irish America that may be more Trump leaning, the realisation that even their motherland hates him might turn a couple of heads. Although that's probably too much to hope for.

(I note, however, according to recent polls that Irish Americans are the segment of white America least inclined toward Trump anyway).

 

[mjp2417]

That's not fair. He actually polls well in virtually all dictatorships

 

[benjipwns]

Has Ireland seen this though?

 

[Dalibor68]

68years and can't pour a beer lol. Then again it's Guiness, so it's for the better

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Ireland is very anti-abortion like Poland so interesting.

So much stupid in one post.

Ireland being "very anti abortion" is like saying America is very pro racism.

The Mcgregor comment is you just showing your ass.

 

[Amalthea]

The know that Leprechauns are very temperamental beings and constantly promise fortunes that are physically impossible to achieve.

 

[ZackieChan]

Yeah but US has more shittiest people.

We know how to use headlights properly, though.

 

[His Majesty]

Most of Europe is overwhelmingly in favour of a Clinton presidency so this isn't really a surprise.

 

[Clegg]

Ireland is very anti-abortion like Poland so interesting.

Conor McGregor fans would vote Trump still.

Interestingly, the latest polls conducted in Ireland show a 60-65% majority in favour of repealing the 8th Amendment and allowing abortion.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

So much stupid in one post.

Ireland being "very anti abortion" is like saying America is very proud racism.

The Mcgregor comment is you just showing your ass.

our government is quite anti abortion to be absolutely fair. it was a dumb post though.

 

[Hellraider]

Like pretty much all European countries except Greece.

What did I miss?

 

[Rayis]

Can we bring them in to vote here?

 

[Shake Appeal]

The only relevance one can hope for is that within the more 'macho' elements of Irish America that may be more Trump leaning, the realisation that even their motherland hates him might turn a couple of heads. Although that's probably too much to hope for.

As an actual Irishman in America, this never works. They'll just tell you some more or less polite version of "you don't know our politics."

 

[SomedayTheFire]

What did I miss?

I believe there was a euro poll and Greece were a mass outlier with the highest Hillary unfavourables.

 

[Izuna]

You need it because you have underdeveloped roads. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

That sounds like the Irish (Americans) alright!!

Have you ever even BEEN to the US? You seem to be an expert.

 

[besada]

Shame you can't vote, but thanks for the thought.

 

[pauljeremiah]

Has Ireland seen this though?

Guinness requires a 3 step pour that sadly the knowledge of has never travelled abroad.

 

[Izuna]

Have you ever even BEEN to the US? You seem to be an expert.

Nope, would like to go for Hilldawg's inauguration though

Sadly I think there's a big portion of England that would like Trump to be elected

 

[Massive Nights]

The 3 step pour is marketing horse-shit though, just pour the bloody thing and let it settle.

 

[Izuna]

So you can waste the beer?

 

[Kathian]

This is...no.

 

[Greddleok]

Does it even matter in the slightest what the population of another country thinks?

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Does it even matter in the slightest what the population of another country thinks?

You'll see similar trends all around the world.

And it just goes to show how the rest of the world thinks of the Republican party and Trump.

 

[GCX]

Does it even matter in the slightest what the population of another country thinks?

Maybe not one country but I think it's somewhat significant that almost every western country shares the same opinion.
