In the right condtions. I just did a nine-day across PA. A couple of nights were chilly and moist. Nothing dried. Not even my synthetic Pak Towel. One morning eveything I left out was wetter than it was before I went to sleep.

i had posted here but didnt save it properly, one of the things I mentioned was that I hardly ever leave things out at night, cuz of the dew factor often making them wetter than before....
other thing was how well the "roll up in towel, step on it with bare feet " technieque works so well.

Sometimes, I get stuff as dry as I can before bed time and them lay the damp clothes over me in my sleeping bag where they usually dry pretty fast. Since I turn in really early they are usually dry before the night turns cold. Also getting into camp and washing stuff early enough so it can be in the sun helps.
How much of an issue drying is varies widely with the locale. Often away from the coast in much of the west stuff dries super fast in the low humidity, while things seem to never dry much of the time in the muggy damp of the east.
