Israeli Poll Says Kadima on 36 seats, Labour on 18, Likud on 14
TEL AVIV, March 26, 2006 (WAFA) - The latest Haaretz-Channel 10 poll puts Kadima on 36 seats, Labour on 18 and the Likud on 14 for the 17th Knesset (Israeli Parliament).... The survey, published on Haaretaz daily, shows that the Labour Party, headed by Amir Peretz, has seen no change in the number of predicted seats since last week's poll. The Likud, however, has dropped one seat and Meretz-Yahad has picked up one, bringing it to six.... If the results hold true, it would make it easy for Kadima leader Ehud Olmert to form a stable coalition supportive of his plan for further withdrawals. A coalition made up of Kadima, Labour and Meretz would have 60 seats.... The right-wing bloc which includes the ultra-Orthodox factions amasses just 50 seats while Labour and Meretz manage to muster just 32 seats, the findings say.... The poll does not indicate significant change among the remaining factions - Shas would capture 11 seats, United Torah Judaism earns six seats, and the Arab parties total eight seats.... A.D.
