Berlin  - Barack Obama would be a shoo-in for US president if Germans instead of Americans were voting: a poll released Sunday showed 72 per cent of Germans prefer the candidate for the Democratic nomination to his Republican rival John McCain.

The survey of 501 Germans by Emnid pollsters for the German Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag showed the presumptive Republican nominee had just 11 per cent of Germans behind him.

Asked what the next US president should do first, 34 per cent of respondents said he should beat world poverty and undernourishment.
