For the frst time in the last 3 decades, the level of support for the principle of a two-state solution dips to 36% from consistent majority support. At the same time, 60% oppose the principle of a two- state solution. If given a choice, the same percentage (60%) supports a unifed Palestinian state on historic Palestine, while only 30% support continue to support a two-state solution, while 8% sup- port a one-state solution with Palestinians and Israelis living together.
Other highlights:
Respondents were asked to choose the lists and candidates they prefer, if elections were to take place today. According to the poll results, Hamas has made signifcant gains compared to previous polling, while Marwan Bargouthi continues to draw the most support, overall.

I'm at a loss to explain this section:
the same percentage (60%) supports a unifed Palestinian state on historic Palestine, while only 30% support continue to support a two-state solution, while 8% support a one-state solution with Palestinians and Israelis living together.
60% support a 1 state solution with no Jews in the WB?
While 8% support 1 state where Israelis and Palestinians can live anywhwere in the Arab state of Palestine?
