PRINCETON, N.J., June 4/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On the one year anniversary of President Obama's speech in Cairo, Pechter Middle East Polls (PMEP) releases trend data showing that credibility regarding President Obama and his speech have increased in Jordan.

PMEP conducted a poll in Jordan in June 2009, a week after Obama's Cairo speech and again in April 2010. The poll in Jordan focused on the credibility of five specific proposals offered by the President.  The following figures are expressed as percentages:

The results indicate that President Obama's credibility has increased on all five policies. However, there are mixed results on his not credible ratings.
