Public opinion polls taken at the beginning of June show Likud and the Labor Alignment running neck and neck, if elections were held during the first week of the month.
A Modi’in Ezrachi poll, published in the Jerusalem Post and Maariv, gives Likud 47 seats in the 120-member Knesset as against 46 for Labor.
But another poll carried out during the same period by the Pori Public Opinion Institute of Israel gave Labor 38.6 percent of the vote, ahead of Likud’s 35.8 percent.
