New polls:
Ha'aretz-Dialog; Sharon 30, Labour 26, Likud 15
Yedioth Ahronoth/Dahaf; Sharon 33, Labour 26, Likud 12
Maariv/Teleseker; Sharon 30, Labour 26, Likud 15
For comparison the 2003 election results; Likud 40*, Labour 19, Shinui 15, Shas 11
For comparision the 1999 election results; Labour 26, Likud 19, Shas 17
For comparision the 1996 election results; Labour 34, Likud 32, Shas 10
*I think 40 is right; some small parties joined it immediately post-election.
Pretty good, if it means both Labour and Sharon gaining on Likud
It's hard to believe that Labour - the hegemonic party from 1948-1977, though with various names, were reduced to 19 seats
in 2003
