53 percent

You're referring to this article, aren't you?

Read just one paragraph further, emphasis mine:

Head pollster Khalil Shikaki, who has been surveying Palestinian public opinion for more than two decades, called it a “dramatic” shift, but said it also resembles previous swings toward Hamas during times of confrontation. Those all dissipated within three to six months as Hamas failed to deliver on promises of change.

Sadly there's not many numbers to go by. But have a later poll, some snippets:

Also notable is that Gazans continue to express disapproval of Hamas’ policies towards Israel. About half (53%) agree at least somewhat that “Hamas should stop calling for Israel’s destruction, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders,” a percentage that has held steady over the last three years. 59% of Gazans also agree that Hamas should give up its armed units in favor of PA officers in Gaza. Likewise, nearly two-thirds of Gazans would agree at least somewhat with the need for Hamas to preserve the cease-fire in both Gaza and the West Bank.

As well as:

Specifically, Gazans believe that Palestinians should push more against corruption in the PA and Hamas. Most (87%) of Gazans would also like Hamas and the PA to allow free and fair elections, a notable 20-point difference from West Bankers (65%) and East Jerusalemites (66%).

...so, no, short story short Palestinians aren't exactly happy about their dictators.

Nobody has else come to their aid, and they've gotten less and less from this "peace process". What Hamas did is wrong, but remove all hope from people and you'll be shocked by what they'll fall for.

Moral of the story: neither Israel nor Palestine nor any country in the middle east is serious about achieving peace that benefits both parties, so now it's up to the global community. Of course, with Israel's posture, I'm expecting them to kill all Palestinians and shrug when accused of ethnic cleansing.

I'd say Israel as an apartheid state has done all the empowering that Hamas needs to be in control.

Terrorist groups tend to not just spring from nothing.

What was the percentage of black Americans that support the black panthers in the 50s/60s. What was the percentage of Vietnamese people supported the Vietcong? What was the percentage of Indian people the supported their violent driven separatist during the British Raj?

90% of Russians want Vlad to rule.

101% of North Koreans want Un to rule.

Gaza hasn't had an election since 2006.

Why should they be torn up when Israel bombs them and shoots them and treats them like animals and has done for decades?

Where are you quoting these fake sounding numbers from?

Were you there to help them? Only hamas do, what did you expect smoothbrain?
