This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the period leading up to the poll, Israeli forces had advanced into central Gaza, fears were high of a military incursion into Rafah, the southern city where some 1.5 million people are sheltering, the humanitarian crisis had hit new lows as the most vulnerable began dying of starvation, and negotiations for a cease-fire before Ramadan were sputtering but still offered a fading glimmer of hope.
The decline was largely driven by a loss of support among West Bank Palestinians, with the majority calling for Abbas to resign and Fatah to be dissolved.
This is true in every single survey we have done,” Khalil Shikaki, who founded and runs PSR, told NBC News in a telephone interview from Ramallah.
Hamas, which for decades has resorted to violent tactics like suicide bombings on Israeli civilian targets and is deemed a terrorist organization by the U.S., has long been divisive among Palestinians.
Satisfaction among Palestinians with the United States’ handling of the war is nearly nonexistent at 1%, backing up diplomatic warnings that anti-U.S. sentiment is festering in the Arab world.
As a regional actor, Yemen had the highest approval ratings, due to the Houthis, the rebel group that has been attacking commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea in what they have framed as solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
