Observations:
Pakistan-China: The enemy of my enemy is my friend
I guess the South Koreans don't mind our bases too much
Turkey-US: I wonder if these polls were taken after the flotilla incident. If so, you'll see them regress toward the mean in a few months
Obamamania may have weakened a bit; but is still pretty strong in most of the World
Support for suicide bombing down across the board... that's good. 74% of Lebenese supported suicide bombing in 2002? Yikes! 34% of Nigerians still do??? 😲
More Indians and Pakistanis support military action against Iran to stop them from building nukes than support sanctions. Interesting. I guess at least some people understand exactly how effective sanctions will be.
Americans are no more isolationist than Europeans. Asked whether their country should deal with its own problems and let others take care of themselves, 46% of Americans agree, as do 44% of Germans and 49% of British. The French are the most isolationist; 65% oppose helping other nations cope with their challenges.
Hmmm.

If you look at the link you'll see that the impact of Obama's ancestry is minor at best (at least as far as Kenya is concerned).
"KENYANS, it seems, are enthralled in equal measure by America and China, a finding from the Pew Research Centre's Global Attitudes Survey that may reflect Barack Obama's Kenyan ancestry"
