Do Arabs expect a different US attitude in the MidEast with Kerry?
This poll, from The Daily Star of Lebanon, says, marginally, yes.

1. Most of the Arabs I know and also the Arabs
I chat with on forums don't see that there will be any significant change when Kerry wins in November. Part of the reason they believe this is because of Kerry's position on Israel/Palestine and Iraq. They believe he is unwavering in his support of Sharon and Israel and won't do anything significant to address the problems in Iraq.

2. this poll shows ambivalence
but not the cynicism you describe.

4. Right...
I am more likely to believe the poll since I only know about 10 Arabs.
