A Palestinian poll conducted after Operation Cast Lead has found that 56 percent of residents in the Gaza Strip and 48.3% of Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem believe Hamas is leading them in the wrong direction.Quick, someone call for an election! I suppose that some people consider corruption preferable to insanity.
The poll, conducted by the Beit Sahour-based Palestinian Center for Public Opinion and published last week, also found that the popularity of Fatah among Palestinians now exceeds the popularity of Hamas, in contrast to a November 2008 poll conducted well before Israel's military operation.
Today, Hamas is supported by only 27.8% of the population in the Gaza Strip, compared to 51.5% in November, said Dr. Nabil Kukali, founder and general director of the PCPO.
Fatah's popularity in the Hamas-controlled coastal territory lies at 42.5%, compared to 31.4% in November.
Of course, with Olmert's help and a trade of 1000 terrorists for Galit, who knows what might happen to these numbers.
