According to a poll by the Development Studies Program at Bir Zeit University, jailed Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti won 46%, compared to 44% for PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Previous polls had shown Barghouti trailing Abbas by up to 25%. A survey by the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, headed by Khalil Shikaki, said Abbas had 40% support, compared with 38% for Barghouti. Both polls indicated that support for Fatah was increasing, while Hamas was losing popularity.
