Knesset Jeremy Analysis: Not good news for Liberman…
Could be an outlier poll but looks like the center left is slowly reclaiming its position in its natural habitats. However, the continued weak showing of Lieberman and Lapid point to a continuation of this government into at least late 2015 if not longer. More and more Bennett is looking like the Erdogan of Israeli politics, the rallying point for all groups national and religious.
about Bennett=israeli erdogan; in a way you could be right.
I would not call this an outlier as Labor starting to recover from its “war”-numbers, that goes for Meretz also. Clearly YB is going down as the “war”-polls are over; that means if there is no big surprise comming Lieberman is going to suffer in the elections. And BY has gained ever since the Likud-YB split and Shas going down to the new norm 7-8. Will be interesting to see if Likud will stay at “weak” 26-27 …
Check out the new Yisrael Beitenu numbers I added
yes, I guess Libermanis about to “go down” to some extent – any chance of YB MKs daring to switch alliance to BY, (nationalist-)Likud?
Comparing the last Panels/Channel Knesset poll Likud (-1), Avoda (+3), Yesh Atid (-2), Yisrael Beitenu (-1), Meretz (+1), Shas (-1) and Yahadut Hatorah (+1).
The Center-Left-Arab improve from 50 to 52 (although Yesh Atid loses 2), perhaps due to the end of the Tzuk Eitan.
Why the aleihum on Liberman?

Looks like back to ‘pre-war’ numbers, Avoda and Meretz back up.
