Likud Surpasses Kadima in Israeli Race

[oberliner]

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - The opposition Likud party is ahead in Israel, according to a poll by Maagar Mochot released by Channel 2. A prospective tally shows Likud would secure 31 mandates in the Knesset, followed by the governing Kadima with 23 seats.

Labour is third with 15 mandates, followed by Israel Our Home with 13 seats, and the International Organization of Torah-observant Sephardic Jews (Shas) with 12 mandates. Support is lower for Vitality-Together, Yahadut Hatorah, Jewish Home, National Union, the Green Party and the Retired People’s Party (Gil). The Arab parties would get nine seats.
