Coug, you have misread the poll.

Check answers to MQ.37 and MQ.38. The relative majorities of those who think US policies are "at least partly" responsible for positive developments on the democracy front are only of those who are optimistic about a move towards democracy, not all polled. At the same time, wide majorities of the pessimists fault the USA - the end result is USA-blamers for de-democratisation outweighting USA-thankers for democratisation in each case. In particular:

In Turkey, of the 33% optimists, only 34% (vs. 51%) credit the USA, that's 11.22% of all - while of the 41% pessimists, a full 83% blame the USA, or 34,03% of all.

In Pakistan, of the 23% optimists, 55% (vs. 28%) credit the USA, that's 12.65% of all - while of the 31% pessimists, 67% blame the USA, or 20,77% of all.

In 'Cedar Revolution' Lebanon, of the 46% optimists, 49% (vs. 44%) credit the USA, that's 22.54% of all - while of the 34% pessimists, 75% blame the USA, or 25,5% of all.

In Jordan, of the 37% optimists, 49% (vs. 44%) credit the USA, that's 18.13% of all - while of the 40% pessimists, 98%(!) blame the USA, or 39,2% of all.

In Indonesia, of the 40% optimists, just 28% (vs. 63%) credit the USA, that's 11.2% of all - while of the 33% pessimists, 62% blame the USA, or 20,46% of all.

Note tough, that the largest group in each country sees no US effect at all.
