While pollsters are busy crunching numbers in every state in the U.S. ahead of election day, millennial hook-up app Tinder joined forces with Rock the Vote to find out who the rest of the world wishes would be the next American president.
The answer? An entire 73 percent of global Tinder users said they would vote for Hillary Clinton, with only 27 percent saying they would pick Donald Trump. Across all 16 countries in the survey and "millions" of votes cast, only one nation picked Trump as their preference over Clinton: Russia.
"Russia is the only country where the majority of users would choose to vote for Donald Trump," Tinder wrote in its analysis. "More than three quarters (76 percent) of users matched with Hillary Clinton based on the issues; however, 71 percent say they would vote for Donald Trump."
