Obama Approval across the Arab World is Declining quickly

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Taking back some of the gains U.S. leadership enjoyed in 2009, four out of six Arab League countries Gallup has surveyed each year since 2008 are now less approving of U.S. leadership than they were in fall 2009. Egyptians' approval ratings have declined the most since last fall (18 percentage points), followed by Algerians' (13 points). Approval did not decline significantly in Iraq or the Palestinian Territories as the changes are within the margin of error. - Gallup Poll

The most telling in this poll is that Obama hasn't been able to sustain the relations in many Arab Nations. What is worse, is that it is lower in Iraq than it was in 2008.
