Obama’s Arab Popularity Lower than G.W. Bush’s

Obama’s popularity is going down? Imagine that…. My cat could have told you that would happen.

We knew that it was just a matter of time until the shine on the Obama presidency wore off and members of the press started telling the not-so-flattering details of the current administration, instead of
running the stories about the president sending chills up their leg, as what happened with the brain-dead jackass Chris Matthews.

If the media was completely truthful, and not a pack of lying, Obama-swooning jackasses, they would have vetted Obama BEFORE he took office, so we could have bypassed some of the huge problems we are having with jobs and the economy, which were caused, or made much worse by Obama.

James Zogby, the anti-Israel pollster who released these findings today, blames the drop in support for Obama in the Arab world on Obama’s failure to put the amount of pressure on Israel the Arab world wanted and expected. But according to the poll, the Arab world doesn’t seem to be happy with any of America’s foreign policy positions. Respondents rated Obama’s policies as the least popular, when compared with other leaders, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Killing Osama bin Laden also contributed to the Arab world’s negative views of Obama. In all six countries surveyed – Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Jordan, the UAE and Saudi Arabia – the majority of respondents said killing bin Laden made them “less favorable toward the U.S.” Notably, in Egypt, only 2 percent said the al Qaeda leader’s death made them view America more positively.

Most surprisingly, Obama’s approval ratings are even lower than President Bush’s before he left office in 2008. They dropped from 26 percent to 12 percent in Morocco, 9 percent to 5 percent in Egypt, 16 percent to 10 percent in Jordan and 22 percent to 12 percent in the UAE (though they did improve in Saudi Arabia, and tick up slightly in Lebanon).

Obama’s unique background was supposed to make him a prime candidate to improve the relationship between the U.S. and the Arab world. But more than halfway through his first term, not only has there been no progress, it looks like relations are worse than before.
