A new survey reports that the Arab and Jewish public think President Barack Obama's handling of Syria and a nuclear Iran portrays a weak image of America.

The Independent Media Review Analysis reports:

A clear majority (66%) of the Jewish public thinks the U.S. administration’s handling of the Syrian issue projects weakness. This view prevails in the Arab public as well, though at a lower rate (49%). It also holds true regarding U.S. behavior toward Iran, with 64% of the Jewish respondents saying the American behavior projects weakness. Among the Arab respondents, the higher rate also "smells" of weakness (39.5%); however, the rate of Arabs who see the U.S. as projecting power is not much smaller (31%), and one-third have no clear opinion on the matter.

Nearly two-thirds of the Israeli Jewish public said they did not trust President Obama to prevent a nuclear Iran while 38.1 percent of Arabs agreed and 20.4 percent did not respond to the question.
