So is Obama really tall or is Putin really short? I can't tell.

At worst there's Pakistan not being very helpful with the whole bin Laden thing, but India are slightly less accommodating to Islamic terrorists for some reason. :iiam:

Judging by the previous Ipsos poll having a lower weighting it's probably a case that this time its shortcomings aren't quite enough to tilt the percentage down to 2% - he weights each poll according to its specifically methodology and crosstabs relative to the state.

did he ever explain why he's the only aggregator to even include the state-level breakdowns of that poll as individual results

I believe historically state-level polls (and breakdowns) are individually more accurate.

Of course, in this election...

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

you're drawing a causal link that doesn't make any sense. the commonwealth doesn't include any countries which could really be considered "enemies" of the US but the fact that they're in the commonwealth is at most a very minor factor in that

anyway the actual distinction I was drawing was between allies and non-allies, india and the US are quite friendly nowadays but they're not allies in the same sense that the UK/France/Saudis/Japan are
