Poll: No constituency for Muslim Brotherhood takeover in Egypt
"This
is
not
an
Islamic
uprising.
The
Muslim
Brotherhood
is
"approved"
by
just
15%,
and
its
leaders
get
barely 1%
in
a
presidential
straw
vote.
Asked
to
pick
national
priorities,
just
12%
choose
shariah
over
national
power, democracy,
or
economic
development.
Asked
to
explain
the
uprising,
economic
conditions,
corruption,
and unemployment
(30‐40%
each)
far
outpace
"regime
not
Islamic
enough"
(7%).
Surprisingly,
asked
two
different
ways
about
the
peace
treaty
with
Israel,
more
support
it
(37%)
than
oppose it
(22%).
Only
18%
approve
of
either
Hamas
or
Iran.
And
a
mere
5%
say
the
uprising
occurred
because
the regime
is
"too
pro-Israel."
