I said this moning that polls indicate Likud will win 28-34 of the 120 seats in the Israeli election.

A new poll published today says 27

"The Kadima Party has also pulled closer to the leading Likud Party in advance of Israel's Feb. 10 national elections, according to the Ma'ariv/Teleseker poll released Wednesday.

The poll found that Likud is leading with 27 seats, followed by Kadima with 23 seats. Both Israel Beitanu and Labor are polling with 17 mandates.

In other results, the religious Sephardic Shas Party polled at 10 Knesset seats, the left-wing Hatnua Hahadasha-Meretz at six seats, United Torah Judaism at five seats and Arab parties Hadash and United Arab List each with four."
