[Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research/IMRA] Khalil Shikaki - According to a recent Palestinian poll, public perception of the end of Abbas' term in office is leading 27% to believe that the legitimate president of the PA today is the Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council and 24% believe that there is no legitimate president, while only 39% believe that the legitimate president is Abbas.
