With 5 days to go, Tzipi Livni is continuing to lose national
support, according to a
Smith Research poll conducted this week for The Jerusalem Post and Globes. Hatnu'a reached a new low of
just seven seats - three less than the 10 it was predicted to receive at
the beginning of the month.
Livni's free fall is most notable among voters under the age of 30, where she is attracting
less than 3 percent support.
Another
party struggling to regain voter enthusiasm is Bennett's Bayit Yehudi,
which reached a high of 16 seats at the start of January but has
since fallen to just 13 in the Post poll. Likud-Beitenu and Labor remained largely steady, with the
former consolidating its 34 mandates and the latter falling one seat to
17.
