— A public opinion poll published in the Jerusalem Post Tuesday indicated the Labor Party still in the lead though showing a steady decline for the past three months and an increase in the popularity of the likud. The poll, conducted by the Madi in Ezrahi Applied Research Center, showed 33 seats of the Knesset’s 120 places for the Likud (20 in February and January), 45 for Labor (as against 45 in February and 58 in January.)
The poll indicated that a list headed by Moshe Dayan would receive nine seats (down from a peak of 19 in February). The national religious party was declining to nine, from 10 in February and 11 in January.
