Introduction:

These are the results and analyses of the latest Arab World for Research & Development(AWRAD) public opinion poll, focusing on the ongoing negotiations and peace process; the aftermath of winter storm Alexa; support for elections; Fatah-Hamas reconciliation; performance of leaders; and support for political parties and prospective future candidates.

The questionnaire was fielded December 21-23, 2013; less than one week after the snowstorm that produced power outages, floods and closure of roads in both the West Bank and Gaza.

Meanwhile, U.S.-mediated efforts to revive the peace process continued with a visit by the U.S. Secretary of State and the media reporting on a number of proposals to bridge differences between the two sides. For this survey, 1,200 Palestinians were interviewed in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. All socioeconomic groups were represented in the poll (for more details on the sample, please refer to www.awrad.org). The margin of error in this poll is plus or minus 3 percent. The survey was carried out by AWRAD researchers under the supervision of Dr. Nader Said-Foqahaa, President of AWRAD.
