Poll Shows Netanyahu Sitting Pretty
Despite the successes of Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip, under a government of the Kadima and Labor parties, led by Minister of Foreign Affairs Tzipi Livni and Minister of Defense Ehud Barak, most Israelis would like to see Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu installed as prime minister on February 11.

A "Globes" survey, in collaboration with Geocartography, managed by Prof. Avi Degani, predicts a sweeping victory for Netanyahu and the right-haredi (ultra-orthodox) block in the coming elections if they were held today, and gives Likud 33 out the 120 Knesset seats.

Contrary to other polls published in the last 24 hours, that project a close race between Kadima and Likud and a stalemate between the left and right, the Globes survey gives the right-haredi block 67 Knesset seats, and the center-left block 53 seats.

For all that, the successful military operation has had an effect, and the Labor Party continues to strengthen. The poll, carried out yesterday evening among a representative national sample of 500 interviewees from the adult (18+) Jewish population, shows Barak's party rising within two weeks from 12 seats to 16.
