PARIS - Democratic party presidential candidate Barack Obama would beat John McCain in a landslide if the vote were held in Canada, according to a newly released poll.

Obama would take 47 per cent of the Canadian vote compared to 17 per cent going to the Republican candidate, suggests the survey of 1,005 Canadians done in late May by the British poll firm YouGov.

The remaining respondents either said they didn't know or refused to answer.

The poll also said 36 per cent of respondents agreed the U.S. was a "force for good" in the world, 34 per cent of Canadians called America a "force for evil," while the rest didn't know.

The Canadian survey has a margin of error of three percentage points, 19 times out of 20, according to YouGov.

The Canadian figures, provided to Canwest News Service by YouGov Wednesday, were part of a broader public opinion study of America's top allies commissioned by the London-based Daily Telegraph newspaper.

The poll also showed that Canadians were roughly in line with British attitudes on the U.S. election, but not as enthralled with Obama as Germans, Italians and the French.

Canadians were also less anti-American than those interviewed in every European country except Italy.

The poll indicated that 49 per cent of British respondents, 65 per cent of the French, 67 per cent of Germans and 70 per cent of Italians favoured Obama.

McCain's support ranged from a low of six per cent in Germany to a high of 15 per cent in Italy among the more than 5,200 respondents in the four European countries.

The poll showed that the U.S. was described as a force for good by 25 per cent of Germans, 28 per cent of French, 33 per cent of the British and 49 per cent of the Italians.

Thirty-five per cent of the British, 40 per cent of the French, 27 per cent of the Italians and 39 per cent of the Germans called America a force for evil.

The margin of error was two per cent for Britain and three per cent for the other three European countries.
