A recent poll suggests that Canadians, including even self-declared “Conservative” voters, increasingly approve of Barack Obama in comparison to other U.S. presidential candidates despite the NAFTA controversy. Obama’s popularity was highest in Ontario and Alberta. There has been a “Canadians for Obama” group active on the Obama Campaign site for over a year.
