— The Labor Party is still in the lead but preference for the Likud is growing more rapidly than it is for Labor, according to the latest public opinion poll, published by the Jerusalem Post Tuesday. The Likud would obtain 35 seats in the 120-member Knesset if elections were held now, as against 33 in last month’s poll. Labor would get 46 seats, up only one from 45 last month. The number of undecided voters now accounts for 21.3 percent, down from last months 25.5 percent.
