Likud Beitenu has stopped its bleeding in the polls, and has stepped up towards 37 projected seats, while Yechimovich, Bennett and Lapid are in a statistical dead head - fighting for 2nd place, according to an average of unpublished internal poll obtained Sunday night by debkafile.
The findings of polls commissioned privately by party leaders the day
before Israel’s general election Tuesday, Jan. 22, average out at 37+ for
Likud-Israel Beitenu, with Labor
far behind at 15 –. The two new faces – Naftali Bennett, at the head of
Jewish Home, and Yair Lapid’s newly-launched Future party - are in a dead
heat at 14, and the ultra-religious Shas slipping to 11. Tzipi Livni’s
Hatnuah continues to slide - down now to six, while the far-left Meretz
edges up to the same figure.
