From a new poll by An Najah University in Nablus:

Do you support or reject the creation of a confederation with Jordan on the basis of two independent states with strong institutional relations?

Yes, it says "two independent states" but it sure seems like this might be a possible direction for peace one day down the line.

The poll is also notable for what it didn't ask:

 Do you support or reject the creation of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders as a final solution for the Palestinian cause?

If they would have asked "Do you support or reject the creation of a Palestinian state from the river to the sea as a final solution for the Palestinian cause?" the numbers would have been much higher.

These questions were also instructive:

Do think that some of the measures that the Palestinian security apparatuses execute have reduced the attacks against Israeli targets?

They agree that the PA has helped clamp down on terror against Jews - and they don't like it. This is despite the fact that this poll showed a slight preference for an non-armed intifada than one that is armed.
