More U.S. crazies than Egyptian crazies (what Islamic Brotherhood takeover?)

YouGov’s Peter Kellner notes some positive polling from Egypt:

Finally, a finding that will come as a great relief to Israel and much of the international community: 60% think Egypt should continue to uphold the peace treaty agreed in 1978 at Camp David; just 27% think Egypt should now end the treaty and sever diplomatic relations with Israel.

Adam Serwer adds:

Egyptians already have a civil war going on next door; it makes sense that they wouldn’t want to escalate tensions with their neighbor on the other side. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the number of people who want to sever relations with Israel are about the same number who want an Islamic state, but either way, we’re talking about the political fringe. Let me put it this way: There is a larger percentage of birthers in the Republican Party than hardcore Islamists in Egypt.
