Election Sentiment in Europe

For a view on the US elections in Europe we spoke to Amy Bracken in Paris and Gerry Hadden in Barcelona.

Amy says the election is being followed very closely in France, but it’s now quite as “electric” as it was four years ago.

From Spain, Gerry says the overall interest is “more muted than it was four years ago.”

Some of that has do to with the economic crisis in Europe, but there’s also disappointment in Obama for not keeping promises made during the last election.
