Berlin : Germans see American President George W. Bush as a greater danger to global peace, the Super Illu magazine cited Sunday an opinion poll released by the Leipzig Institute for Market Research.
Some 40 percent of those questioned said Bush is either a great or very great danger for peace in the world, compared to only 30 percent who think Putin is a big or very big threat to global peace.
The Georgian crisis has not had any negative impact on the Germans’ general stance towards Russia as nearly two-thirds of Germans regard relations with Russia positively, according to a recent survey released recently by the ZDF public television network.
Some 63 percent stressed German-Russian ties were good while 25 percent said they were bad and 11 percent had no opinion on the issue.
Meanwhile, only 36 percent believe the Georgian conflict will have a lasting effect on German-Russian ties, compared to 56 percent who reject that view.
Germany remains Russia’s leading trading partner, as total trade volume stood at 57 billion euros last year.
