An Israeli poll out shows that Benjamin Netanyahu would win an election in Israel if current PM Olmert were to be ousted or resign. But before we set this in stone, it should be noted that the poll surveyed a "whopping" 467 people. Here's a snippet from the article here at the AP:
Do I think Netanhyahu is the answer for Israel? I simply don't know. But I do think that Israel needs Likud at the helm of the country right now - Israel is going to need hardliners over the next two years and if my predictions come true of some major attacks on Israel over the next nine months, they will need a supreme coordination with the defense ministry to stave it all off.
I personally don't think Olmert is going to be able to weather this storm as it is all over the place now. And it is not only the corruption scandal at the heart of this but the fact that the defense minister has come out with a vote of no confidence of him and of course, swelling opposition among the Israeli citizens.
Hardline Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu would win national elections if a corruption probe topples Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, an Israeli poll showed Friday.
The Dialog poll indicates that popular Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni would come in second and Defense Minister Ehud Barak would come in third.

Israeli poll finds Netanyahu would win elections
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Hardline Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu would win national elections if a corruption probe topples Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, an Israeli poll showed Friday.
The Dialog poll indicates that popular Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni would come in second and Defense Minister Ehud Barak would come in third.
The corruption probe involves a Jewish-American businessman who testified he had given Olmert about $150,000 that was used in part to fund a lavish lifestyle.
The poll, published in the Haaretz daily newspaper, surveyed 467 people and has a margin of error of 5.1 percentage points.

hope he get the position. I heard Livni will be worse then olmert. I read something about how she is friends with Sec. Rice and thinks the same way. I hope they don't do a back room deal where Livni takes over. Israel needs Bibi.
Israel needs a strong, firm hand on the tiller of the state in the coming days. Livni is not capable of getting Israel through the coming "problems", with Israel intact. Those who think that they can talk their way out of the coming troubles are deluding themselves.
