New Poll: Likud Still Foundering, Strengthening Slightly Under Barkat

A new poll conducted by Camil Fuchs and published by Channel 12 News shows Netanyahu doing worse as leader of the Likud than Nir Barkat in a future election.

According to the poll, if the elections took place today, the Knesset seat breakdown would look as follows: State Camp – 37 seats, Likud under Netanyahu – 16 seats, Yesh Atid – 14 seats, Yisrael Beiteinu – 9 seats, Shas – 9 seats, Otzmah Yehudit – 8 seats, UTJ – 7 seats, Religious Zionism – 6 seats, Hadash-Ta’al – 5 seats, Ra’am – 5 seats, Meretz – 4 seats.

The most interesting number was the number of seats Likud would get if Economy Minister Nir Barkat headed the party – 21, five more than Netanyahu would get.
