By a very large majority, the people of Gaza oppose Hamas rule altogether. These findings are based on a June 15-17 survey by a highly respected Palestinian pollster, David Pollock, who conducted face-to-face interviews throughout Gaza using standard random geographical probability sampling.
The June survey demonstrates the sharp contrast between what most Gazans want and what their Hamas government continually does. The group's popularity was at a low point as the current crisis began, and there is no evidence that it has rebounded. The poll results show that the people of that hard-pressed territory want a ceasefire and even economic opportunity in Israel -- and that they overwhelmingly reject Hamas policies and leaders alike.
