Introduction:
The Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) carried out an opinion poll on the attitudes of the members of the Fateh Congress who are registered on lists that were available for AWRAD from official sources. Three hundred (300) female and male members were interviewed to represent all sectors and geographical areas (West Bank, Gaza, and Diaspora).
The sample included 82 percent men and 18 percent women. About 42 percent were from the West Bank, 34 percent were from Gaza and 24 percent from the Palestinian Diaspora.
The sample was also representative of all age groups. Most of the interviews were carried out by phone and some through face-to-face interviews. Dr. Nader Said, the President of AWRAD, declared that the cooperation of the members in filling out the questionnaires was astounding, reflecting a positive attitude and forward –looking approach.
