I think the answer is like everything else in life...it DEPENDS.
There's so much variability: type of morning exercise, intensity, duration, etc.
Obviously, if you're going to have an intense morning workout (e.g. HIIT, P90X, resistance+cardio circuits, etc.) you should take in some nutrition around an hour before.
But a very good authority (Lyle McDonald) on fasted cardio and fat loss had the following response to this very commonly asked question:

This book is what I swear by and this author has trained thousands of people. Fasted cardio is the way to go if your body can handle it. Eating B4 weight/resistance training is a must. Here's a review:

I really do not know the answer too....
If I am hungry then I do drink a glass of Orange juice and then I do my work out...0
