Washington, Aug 1 - Obamamania may still be sweeping the world but not most Muslim nations, says a survey by the Pew Research Center here.

Called the Global Attitudes Project, the survey of 24 countries and the Palestinian territories shows that the Muslim world remains largely immune to Obamamania, said Richard Wike, associate director of the study, in an article for CBS News Friday.

Thanks to the new president, America's image is on the rebound throughout much of the world, with more than nine-in-ten in France and Germany reposing faith in Obama's leadership, he said.

Because of Obama, ratings for the US itself are up dramatically, with sizeable increases in Latin America, Africa and much of Asia, Wike wrote.

However, when it comes to Muslim nations, America's overall image remains unchanged, though Obama is viewed more positively there than George Bush.

In Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and the Palestinian territories, fewer than 30 percent of the people have a positive view of America, according to the survey.

In Egypt and Jordan there has been a slight rise in favourable views about the US since 2008. But in Pakistan, Turkey and the Palestinian territories, America continues to be viewed as negatively as in the final years of the presidency of George Bush whose wars in Iraq and Afghanistan antagonised Muslim nations.

'Although a new team is now in the White House, much of the distrust persists. For example, the 2009 poll finds that in predominantly Muslim nations, there is generally little support for US-led anti-terrorism efforts,' said Wike.
