The poll was answered by over 2,000 online correspondents as to what politician they would trust to purchase a used car from. Alongside Sarkozy, Italy's ex-Silvio Berlusconi and Russia Vladimir Putin sat at the bottom of the poll as the least trusted.
“If Obama fails to win re-election next year, he could always launch a used car business in the UK”, says Jim Buckmaster, CEO of craigslist. “But he should clearly avoid partnering with Silvio Berlusconi, or even David Cameron.”
This sort of “used-car test” of public trust is a good one for any politician”, adds Buckmaster.

The first question was: “Which one of the following world leaders would you LEAST like to buy a used car from?”. The second was the opposite: “Which one would you MOST like to buy one from?”
Pedants might argue that Berlusconi is no longer a leader, since he has now finally quit as Italy’s Prime Minister, even though many are already predicting that, like Terminator, he’ll be back.
