Almost two-thirds of Israelis would prefer a prime minister other than Binyamin Netanyahu, according to a surprise new poll that suggests the incumbent may be more vulnerable than previously thought.
The survey for the Jerusalem Post and its Hebrew sister paper, Maariv, was taken on Wednesday, a day after Netanyahu announced snap elections, and appears to undermine earlier polls that suggest his re-election will be straightforward. It also points to a complicated, febrile and unpredictable election campaign.
Asked whether they wanted Netanyahu to remain prime minister 60% of respondents said no, 34% said yes and 6% said they did not know. But the poll did indicate that the most popular party remains Netanyahus Likud suggesting a gulf between the popularity of him and that of his party.
Ben Caspit, commenting on his papers poll in Fridays Maariv, is not surprised.
The Netanyahu loyalists, his hardcore, still believe in him [...] The rest of the public, a large number of Israelis, does not want him.

It does, and the U. S. withdrawing from the world stage like so many here want it to, will reap quick rewards.
I hope folks enjoy it, because it’s going to be hell on earth.
Sound absurd, but then look what Obama has been doing to the U. S.
If there is no other person, then it falls to him by default.
Britian? No
The U. S.? No
Who else is there?
And please folks, a man invading his neighbors is not our savior.
I read the end of the Book. Israel wins even if Netanyahu does not.
Can they?
Israel does win in the end, but it’s a high cost. Two-thirds of the Jews are killed, that being larger than the Holocaust. Only a REMNANT is saved, according to the Bible. And that REMNANT has to escape Israel and hide out in the wilderness for 3-1/2 years, until being saved. It’s going to be a TERRIBLE TIME for Israel!
Well ... certain Israeli Jews don’t like what Netanyahu is doing.
Actually, it is unfair to Gen. Arnold to compare him to such an animal. Yitzhak Rabin was a psychopathic mass murderer (Altalena) and traitor (Oslo). The only tragedy is that he did not die 40 years earlier. To name a square after such a monster is unfathomable.
Oh, so they see the great job Obama is doing and want the same type of leader!
