Palestinians and Israelis agree that they both disapprove of Obama

Jerusalem Post:
... US President Barack Obama wanted to see Palestinians and Israelis come together in agreement on a peace deal. Instead, the leader of the free world may be disappointed by the news that the two sides did indeed come together – in their disapproval of his job performance.

According to a new poll by WIN/Gallup International, while Obama is the world leader who is most admired throughout the globe, his favorability rating drops precipitously in Middle Eastern countries including Israel, the Palestinian territories, Iran, Lebanon and Turkey.

The poll indicates that Obama is viewed most favorably in Kosovo, Vietnam, Portugal, Sweden and Colombia.

The poll also shows that Israelis have a slightly higher opinion of Russian President Vladimir Putin than they do of Obama.
...
Some 65% of the respondents said America’s position in the Middle East has been weakened or seriously weakened since Obama took office in 2009, while 24% believe America’s position has remained unchanged and 11% think it has gotten stronger.
Obama, the uniter, strikes again.  The Israelis have more to be unhappy about especially when it comes to the Iran deal.  The Palestinians are likely unhappy because Israel still exists.  The Iran deal did not improve his standing in that country either. The countries with the most favorable opinion of his performance make an interesting grouping although they have little else in common.
