(CNSNews.com)<\/strong> \u2013 Two years of outreach to the Arab-Islamic world by the Obama administration apparently has not ushered in more favorable opinions of the United States among Arabs, according to a new poll of attitudes in six key Mideast countries.<\/div>\n

Favorable views of the U.S. among respondents in the Zogby International poll have dropped by more than half across the six countries compared with a similar survey conducted two years ago \u2013 from an average 33 percent in 2009 to 15 percent in 2011.<\/p>\n

In four of the six countries polled \u2013 Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates \u2013 favorable opinions of the U.S. are even lower now than they were in 2008, the final year of President Bush\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n

In the other two countries \u2013 Egypt, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia \u2013 they are higher now than in 2008, but down noticeably from 2009, when the poll was conducted several months after President Obama took office.
