President Barack Obama

Confidence in U.S. President Barack Obama has drastically dropped in the Muslim world, according to surveys released by the Pew Global Attitudes project.

Among the seven countries surveyed with substantial Muslim populations the poll shows that more than eight out of ten people in Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan don’t trust the United States and its president.

The poll also indicates that only 21 percent in Jordan positively view the U.S.

The U.S.’s positive rating was 52 percent in Lebanon, 59 percent in Indonesia and 81 percent in Nigeria, where Muslims comprise about half the population.

In all seven of those countries, the percentage of Muslims expressing confidence in Obama has also dropped since last year.

Only in Nigeria and Indonesia do majorities of Muslims voice confidence in him. In Obama’s worst showing, just 8 percent in Pakistan have confidence in the U.S. President.

The polls come just a year after Obama sought a new beginning with the Muslim world in a speech in Egypt.

The polls blame the fall in Obama’s approval rating on the stalled Middle East peace process as well as the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
