"The 2007 poll highlighted the extent to which Sunni Muslims in Lebanon have positive opinions of the United States (52% favorable, 47% unfavorable), although Lebanese Shia hold distinctly negative views (7% favorable, 92% unfavorable)." Yes, but this is deceptive in itself because Lebanese Sunnis largely sympathize with U.S. policies in Lebanon (which support the largest Sunni political forces, Hariri Inc), but they would express unfavorable views if the question made a distinction between U.S. policies in Lebanon versus U.S. policies in Palestine, for example.
