Poll Finds Obama’s Approval Among Muslims Reaches New Lows

THE DAILY CALLER: A Pew Research survey released on Wednesday showed that President Barack Obama’s popularity has reached record lows among Muslims.

The Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes survey found the approval of Obama’s policies in Muslim-majority countries plummeted from an average 34 percent to 15 percent. In Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was killed, approval is the lowest — coming in at 7 percent. Muslim attitudes toward America and confidence in Obama also decreased.

More than 26,000 people from 21 countries took part in the survey, taken between March 17 and April 20.

Obama’s worldwide approval has also declined significantly, especially with regards to foreign policy. And overall confidence in Obama and attitudes toward America have declined modestly. » | Meagan Clark | Thursday, June 14, 2012
