The positive campaign theme highlighting Likud's achievements seemed to have brought Likud voters back home, according to the latest poll by Rafi Smith for "Globes". Likud is on the rebound, with 34 projected seats, while Naftali Bennett's rise has been halted with 14 seats, losing two seats to Likud within one week.

In the in-depth surveys
and focus groups that Hatenu'a conducts, Globes writes, again and again it emerges that
Livni is perceived as someone who has failed and disappointed.
Kadima could be the
surprise of this election, Lilach Weissman analyzing the poll data suggests. It is running a campaign of an underdog.
They're hurting us. Kicking us around. That's how it is. A thrashed
puppy is allowed to say what a puppy with its tail in the air can't. At present, it’s the best campaign
seen in these election broadcasts. In the Likud party they admit that
Kadima's broadcasts are winners, and they have no problem with that.
They would prefer to see a strong Kadima, at Livni's expense.
