Highlights
Introduction: AWRAD recently completed an “Opinion Poll of Palestinian Youth.” In the course of this survey, AWRAD surveyed 1,200 Palestinian youth (18-30 years old) in the West Bank and Gaza, similar to a survey completed in January 2012. The results provide illustrative data on the attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs of Palestinian youth. This current press release is one in a series highlighting findings on the following issues: the peace process, political and social activism, the Arab Spring and its implications on Palestine, evaluation of leaders and political groups, and policy priorities. The focus of this specific release is primarily youth attitudes regarding political leadership and potential participation and choices in a future election. The following is a list of significant results from this survey: I. Leadership:
II. Voter Registration:
III. Elections: Fateh remains the most popular party in a hypothetical election and would receive the vote of 40 percent of Palestinian youth. Hamas remains the second most popular party with 20 percent of youth voicing their support. Support for all the leftist parties, combined, barely tops 10 percent. A quarter of Palestinian youth is undecided or will not vote. In a head to head election between Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh, Abbas is twice as popular among youth, though the large percentage of undecided voters could swing results.
