A large majority of people questioned in a BBC World Service global opinion poll think US President George Bush has made the world more dangerous.

Almost half of the nearly 21,000 people in 21 countries who responded to the poll published on Wednesday made no distinction between the Bush administration and the US itself.

They saw US influence in the world as largely negative and viewed Americans negatively as well.

In none of the countries polled was there support for contributing troops to Iraq.
