What do think about this Norwegian "election"?

[abc3643]

According to a post on X made by Norwegian evening TV news anchor Arill Riise, if Norwegians were to vote in the 2024 US Presidential Election, they'd support Harris 84.1% but Trump only 10.6%.

This image is taken from his broadcast. "Hvis nordmenn skulle velge" translates into English as "If Norwegians had to choose".

I have a Norwegian friend who told me privately on FB that he was relieved when the US elected Biden over Trump in 2020.

I really wish MAGAworld would realize what everyone else does about Trump...

As usual, I do not admit Anonymous opinions; have the cojones to put your name with your words.

As a avid reader of the Economist and BBC media I'm not surprised at all. I would suggest to all MAGA that they regularly read the articles from

www.watchingamerica.com

which aggregates and translates news from many prestigious international newspapers - providing both hard news and editorials.

The fact is that four out of five people worldwide loathe him and are terrified of what suburban Pennsylvania voters are going to do since that's where the election is going to be decided...

[abc3643]

Wow! That's a great website! Instant MHO!

[DrPepper12]

I'm shocked that it's not well known. It's such a a great source

they have huge oil wells they are sucking to make lots of $ to fund their social endeavors and make everyone happy in that freezing cold and dark place. So much, that they now run on electric cars moreso, and so, they go left.

When the oil runs out, they will run out of that place.

unless there is enough global climate change and the earth rotates and it becomes warm and toasty and sunny.

[abc3643]

While it can get cold in Norway, it's actually rather temperate. This is because of the Gulf Stream current circulating southward on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

As for:
"When the oil runs out, they will run out of that place."

Well, hasn't that been something we should have been worrying about since, say, October 1973?
The oil is going to "run out" everywhere sooner or later, so instead of "drill, baby, drill", we should have been working on renewable/green energy all that time.

[lightbulb27]

fair enough.

[lightbulb27]

I visited Norway, it was a good experience, nice people. They have right to their views.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Trump is a joke on the international stage. Nobody takes him seriously. He is a pompous ass that talks only to hear himself speak. He's done nothing of note other than jacking up the economy handed to him by Obama and increasing the national debt by trillions.

[DryGermanGuy]

That’s what happens in a population with publicly funded education. 👍

[Astarlessnightsky]

I would guess in every european country you would get a similiar result, not because europeans love K. Harris, but dislike D. Trump so much.

[NathanDavis]

wait till Trump says he wants to buy off Norway... from Ikea

[Agape93]

Not surprised in the least

[gatixek710]

In other news, Norwegians are dummies.

[abc3643]

... who are living better than you. They are a rather wealthy nation with a per capita above 54k $USD.

Then again, being a dummy and having money were never mutually exclusive as illustrated by Trump.

[gatixek710]

Are they though? US GDP is $81k per capita. I guess they're good company for you. Woefully uninformed.

[abc3643]

That's true. That is a decent figure for us. Too bad it's not a real average because of the vast wealth gap in our country. Few people in my red state county are making even half that and those are families.

But you were right - I was woefully uninformed about the per capita incomes - and apparently you were too.

According to the CIA World Factbook (an excellent resource), the estimated 2023 "Real GDP per capita" income for the two countries were:

USA: $73,600
www.cia.gov/.../#economy

NOR: $90,500
www.cia.gov/.../#economy

[abc3643]

According to the CIA about those "Real GDP per capita" values...
NOR: "comparison ranking: 8"
USA: "comparison ranking: 14"

[gatixek710]

yeah, I only went to worldbank. org. lol.

but yeah, it's not surprising that globalists in countries that won't be able to push around the US if Trump is in office is upset he might get elected.

[Sasahara]

@gatixek710 Norwegian media is ran by leftists. This poll was held the first week this month. 5 days. And they got 1000 answers. Hardly represtentative of the entire population.
www.tv2.no/.../

By American standards most Norwegians would likely be centrists rather than leftists or right leaning.

[abc3643]

@Sasahara actually statistically does 1,000 people pulled or fairly representative of the will of Norway. This is because Norway has a population less than 6 million. The US population is about 55 times that so the equivalent fraction of the population in the US would be over a half a million people polled. No polling group in the United States samples that many people. A thousand samples is fine as a sample size to represent the population.

[abc3643]

Sorry my phone is a pain in the ass this morning. That first sentence came out like shit.

But again what I said is true. For population of about five and a half million, the sample size of 1000 is sufficient to represent that population statistically.

[Sasahara]

I live in Norway. I could have held the same poll and got the opposite answer if I wanted to. I just don’t work for a media company.
And Norwrgian media is biased.
For example here you have NRK, our biggest TV channel admitting they have no intention of being neutral regarding news related to Trump
