The Zogby poll's findings are even more peculiar given that a
Pew Global Attitudes Project Survey asked very similar questions in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon a mere two months earlier, and reached very different results.
A poll released on Friday by the
Pew Global Attitudes Project determined that respondents from 22 countries evaluated Obama's performance positively -- with the exception of his approach to Palestine, where nearly two-thirds of the 22 nations' respondents viewed the administration's performance negatively.
favorability ratings in allies Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan hover at about 17 percent, while confidence in Obama in those three countries was 33 percent, 23 percent and 8 percent respectively, surveys by the

Pew Global Attitudes Project survey of forty-five thousand people from forty-seven countries find there is "an evolving world view on globalization that is nuanced, ambivalent, and sometimes inherently contradictory." (3)
In spring 2007, the
Pew Global Attitudes Project surveyed 47 countries, and on a variety of issues--life satisfaction, national conditions, immigration--Italians had a distinctively negative outlook.
