(VIDEO) Hamas looked set to win about 30 percent of the votes in the Palestinian elections on Wednesday, with over 40 percent going to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, a senior source with one of the groups conducting exit polls said.


The poll was roughly in line with surveys ahead of the first parliamentary election in a decade.


Pollsters had cautioned that there would be a large margin of error in their projections, particularly because of the complicated Palestinian election system, under which some seats are chosen from party lists and some on a district basis.
