Hamas approval rating extremely low | Middle East | Jerusalem Post

Hamas approval rating extremely low | Middle East | Jerusalem Post: "....While the numbers indicate ongoing, deep hostility toward Israel in the Arab world, the poll also shows signs that powerful players in the region, such as Hamas, are in deep trouble at home, and that the people living under their direct rule are becomingly increasingly vocal in their criticism.

'Gaza is a big open sore for Hamas, and it's become a symbol that has turned people against armed struggle and in favor of negotiations,' Greenberg told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Friday. 'Hamas has become marginalized politically.'

According to the poll, 58 percent of Gazans said they disapprove of the job being done by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, while 42% of them said they 'disapprove strongly.'"
