Egyptians to Obama: You suck!
Via the Tribune…
A poll of six Arab nations that McClatchy Newspapers has sponsored in conjunction with Ipsos polling has found that Obama is well-regarded in some.
Ironically, Obama’s standing appears lowest, among these nations, in Egypt, which the White House named last week as the location of the president’s June 4 address.
“Obama scored highest in Jordan, where 58 percent … have a favorable opinion of him, 29 percent have an unfavorable view, 6 percent had no opinion and 7 percent didn’t know,” McClatchy’s Bill Douglas reports.
“Saudi Arabians have a 53 percent favorable opinion of Obama, followed by 52 percent in the United Arab Emirates,” Douglas reports. “From there, Obama’s popularity dips, with a 47 percent favorability rating in Kuwait, 43 percent in Lebanon and 35 percent in Egypt.”
