LONDON (Reuters) - A large majority of Britons think a U.S. election victory for John Kerry is the best outcome for global security, according to a poll in a Sunday newspaper.

They also believe -- by a smaller margin -- a win for the Democrat challenger would damage Prime Minister Tony Blair's international standing given his alliance with incumbent President Bush, according to the survey.


Surveys have repeatedly shown most Britons feel uncomfortable with the Blair-Bush friendship and their joint policy over Iraq.


Fifty-six percent told Communicate Research pollster the world would be safer with Kerry, while 24 percent favored Bush.
