Opinion poll in Israel and Palestine

An opinion poll released by the One Voice Movement on Israeli and Palestinian attitudes toward the peace process reveals the following, among many other points:
"the ‘Two state solution’ continues to be the most widely accepted option for both Israelis and Palestinians and all other options presently being considered are less likely to gain as much support in both societies as a basis for a peace agreement." And that "only 35% of Israelis consider it ‘essential or desirable’ for the IDF to remain in the Occupied Territories/West Bank while 43% consider this option ‘unacceptable’. Israelis, it would seem, have no great desire to stay there."
However, only about 20% of Israelis believe Israel should withdraw to the 1967 borders, perhaps with mutual adjustments in land.

This confirms other polls, such as this one and this other one. There is also another poll here reaching similar conclusions.
