New poll reveals inconvenient truth: Palestinians like and support Hamas

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Shikaki’s poll, unlike the one from March cited by the Times, found that the percentage of satisfaction with Hamas and Sinwar remains very high.
This story fits that pattern, since short shrift is paid to Shikaki’s poll taken just days earlier, which punches holes into the Times’ overall portrayal of the conflict.
Not only do the poll’s findings not align with the narrative of the war dominating the New York Times’ coverage, but they also are at odds with several basic assumptions other actors – including US President Joe Biden and his administration – have as well.
Another badly mistaken assumption – and a central pillar of the American administration’s vision for the “day after” – is that a new revitalized Palestinian Authority, with a newly elected president, parliament, and government, could take over Gaza.
After eight months of war, 54% of the respondents, and 56% in Gaza, said the “best means of achieving Palestinian goals in ending the occupation and building an independent state” was through “armed struggle,” with only 25% opting for negotiations.
Interestingly, three-quarters of the respondents said they opposed a Saudi-Israeli normalization deal, even if it was conditional on Israel accepting the idea of a Palestinian state and taking concrete steps to actualize that goal.
