American President Barack Obama is much more popular in the Netherlands than the country's own political leaders. The current U.S. president, who assumed office just half a year ago, received a score of 7.4, which is almost one point higher than any Dutch politician has received since 2003. These results of the weekly Maurice de Hond poll were made public on Sunday.

The polling agency says the high score demonstrates Obama's appeal to voters across the political spectrum, including those on the left as well as the right.

Obama scoort beter dan Nederlandse politicus

AMSTERDAM - De Amerikaanse president Barack Obama is in Nederland veel populairder dan de eigen politieke leiders. De half jaar geleden aangetreden president krijgt een rapportcijfer van 7,4.

Dat is ruim een punt hoger dan de hoogste score die enkele Nederlandse politici sinds 2003 behaalden. Dat blijkt zondag uit de wekelijkse peiling van Maurice de Hond.

De hoge score toont aan dat Obama kiezers over de hele linie aanspreekt, zowel van linker- als rechterzijde, zegt de opiniepeiler in een toelichting. (ANP)
