Especially in the Middle East. And Barack Obama, unlike Bill Clinton, isn't making anyone feel loved:

Our current poll indicates that 13% of Israelis and 69% of the Palestinians think that Obama's policy is more supportive of Israel, 37% and 3% respectively think it is more supportive of the Palestinians, and 36% and 22% respectively think it is supportive of both sides equally. In August, 12% of Israelis and 64% of Palestinians believed that Obama's policy is more supportive of Israel; 40% and 7% respectively thought it is more supportive of the Palestinians, and 38% and 23% respectively thought it is supportive of both sides equally.
