A survey conducted by Yisrael Hayom and Hagal Hahadash has found that the
combined bloc of politically right-wing and hareidi-religious parties
continues to grow. Right-wing and hareidi parties would win 67 seats
between them if elections were held today, compared to their current 65.
Other than that, the poll found few changes on Israel's political
scene. If elections were held today the government and Knesset would be
virtually unchanged.
Respondents' votes would leave Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in his
position. Netanyahu's Likud party would grow slightly to become the
Knesset's largest faction, with 31 seats, but rival party Kadima would
maintain its strength, and the other parties would experience only minor
gains or losses.
Netanyahu's edge over Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni has grown, with 40%
support for the prime minister compared to 28% for the opposition
leader. Netanyahu enjoys an even higher advantage over Livni's rival,
Kadima MK Shaul Mofaz, with 43% support to Mofaz's 15%.
However, an unusually high number of respondents – 42% - said they
remain undecided whether Netanyahu or Mofaz is the better candidate.
