A year to the day after the death of Osama bin Laden, Pew Research finds that support for al Qaeda in the Muslim world has dwindled dramatically.

Only 13% of Pakistani Muslims have a favorable opinion of the group today, indicating that al Qaeda’s battle for the hearts and minds of the Middle Eastern world has been lost. Similar downward trends can be seen throughout the region with regards to confidence in Osama bin Laden.

It’s clear that bin Laden was losing his hold on the region as the years wore on, but it is not clear that the decreasing favorability of bin Laden and al Qaeda are linked to an increased affinity for the United States or the Western world.
