Arab opinion down on Obama, but not on idea of nuclear Iran

by Howard on August 8, 2010

The videos linked to below help explain the noteworthy results of the 2010 Arab Public Opinion Poll, which was produced by Brookings Institution along with Zobgy International.

This year’s poll surveyed 3,976 people in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates, during the period of June 29–July 20, 2010.

Among the key poll findings are:

  • A substantial change in the assessment of President Obama, both as president of the United States and of Obama personally.
  • Remarkably stable views on the Arab-Israeli conflict and the prospects of its resolution.
  • A majority of the Arab public now see a nuclear-armed Iran as being better for the Middle East.
