Polls show Netanyahu's Likud extending significant lead

The latest pre-election poll in Israel has Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party extending its lead over the currently ruling Kadima Party, and keeping the lead for the past few weeks.
The results of the poll issued in the paper "Yisrael hayom" predicted Likud winning 35 Knesset seats to just 26 for Kadima in the February 10 general election.
Ehud Barak's Labor Party continues its fall to just 8 seats in the latest poll.
The poll showed Likud and other right-of-center parties winning a commanding bloc , more than enough for Netanyahu to form a stable majority coalition.
