Tide Turning For Netanyahu: Polls Show Him In The Lead

The tide has turned back toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as two new polls show his Likud party taking back the lead from leading opponent Benny Gantz’s Blue and White Party.

According to Israel National News, “A Channel 12 poll conducted by a sample institute and published this evening (Sunday) shows the Likud leading the Blue and White Party for the first time since a third round of Knesset elections was announced. If elections were to be held today, Netanyahu’s party would come in with 34 seats while Blue and White would receive 33 seats, the Joint Arab list 13, and the Labor -Gesher-Meretz would come in with ten. Shas and United Torah Jewry would each receive eight seats, Yamina would end up with seven, and Lieberman’s Yisrael Beytenu seven seats.”
