Thanks for Jerome Armstrong for posting some polling data:

Anywhere but the Labor middle. I've seen three recent polls out of Israel, and the others show about the same trend as this poll on IMRA:

Results expressed in Knesset seats. Current Knesset seats in [brackets].

25 [29] Kadima headed by Livni
07 [19] Labor
37 [12] Likud
11 [12] Shas
08 [11] "Israel Is Our Home" (Yisrael Beteinu)
08 [06] Yahadut Hatorah
08 [05] Meretz
04 [09] "Jewish Home" (previously Nat'l Union/NRP)
03 [00] Green Party
09 [10] Arab parties *
00 [07] Retirees Party

I'm especially interested in the "Green Movement." I wonder if it will really break through this year, on the heels of the Dov Khenin success in Tel Aviv. Anyone want to make a pitch for one of these parties?

PS: It sucks that they don't break out the category of "Arab Parties" into the specific ones.
