Gazans like Trump a LOT more than Democrats do. (And Democrats seem to like Hamas more than Gazans do.)

The Institute for Social and Economic Progress did a survey of Gazans in mid-March, and they found that 45% of Gazans like President Trump's performance.

11.9% were "very satisfied" and 33.1% were "mostly satisfied."

This poll was taken after Trump said that he wanted to relocate Gazans to other countries and have the US take over the territory.

Gazans don't seem to be nearly as upset over the prospect of moving out of Gaza as their supposed supporters are.

For comparison, an Ipsos poll taken in late March found that only 7% of Democrats approved of Trump's performance.

How about Hamas?

At the moment, 6.3% of Gazans would vote for Hamas in an election. It is hard to compare that directly with any US poll, but we can take a good guess: a Harvard/Harris poll taken in January found that 8% of Americans had a favorable opinion of Hamas, and you can be certain that those that said that were overwhelmingly Democrats - so the number of Democrats who view Hamas favorably is probably in the 14-15% range, much higher than the percentage of Gazans who want to see Hamas rule them in the future.

These statistics are quite remarkable, and point to a serious problem in today's Democratic Party. And it isn't a problem that their leadership seems to want to fix; on the contrary, their leadership is doing everything they can not to upset the crazies.
