A Palestinian polling center found overwhelming public dissatisfaction with the Palestinian Authority, the Shehab Wire reported. Seventy-nine percent of respondents characterized the authority as a burden, while 70 percent called for President Mahmoud Abbas to step down. The results signal a sharp deterioration in public confidence toward the governing body.
The Palestinian Center for Polling and Survey Research documented the figures in recent polling. The survey also revealed declining public faith in upcoming elections as a mechanism for achieving substantive political change, indicating deeper frustration with existing institutions and electoral processes.
