Keep Winning Those Hearts and Minds... It's as Easy as Winning in Iraq and Afghanistan

Among the most striking findings on the question of attitudes toward President Obama: Early in the Obama administration, in April and May 2009, 51% of the respondents in the six countries expressed optimism about American policy in the Middle East. In the 2010 poll, only 16% were hopeful, while a majority - 63% - was discouraged.

The same sagging poll numbers must be roughly equivalent to the slump seen in Obama's popularity among Constitutional Scholars.
