We've got your new poll numbers right here:

We really don't know what to think about Ha'aretz this morning. There are two opinion pieces, each stranger than the last. In the first, Israel Harel sympathizes with the plight of settlers and urges Likud to regroup, arguing that the critical election the one after this one and that the party has a "historic role." In the second, Nehemia Strasler points out the brutally obvious fact that Netanyahu was a fantastic Finance Minister and that the people who blame him for impoverishing the poor have little to no understanding of economics. She goes so far as to single out Peretz and state pretty unequivocally that, if allowed to implement his pseudo-socialist union hack agenda, Peretz would have crashed and/or will crash the economy.
We were getting very worried about the health of the Ha'aretz staff, but then their third opinion piece was a poorly written, sarcastic, and insufferable extended smirk written by Yossi Sarid. Sarid snarkily has "a good word", and he revels in the plight of the Likud Central Committee. Which is something we do all the time, but we don't (a) put on dignified airs or (b) whine about our political martyrdom in the name of a ill-fated and unenforceable negotiated peace settlement. So there are differences.
Not to be outdone in the "what the hell is going on" category, JPost has an article by Larry Derfner which basically humiliates the Israeli Right by unfairly yet hysterically describing "the real meanings of some terms you will be hearing again and again in the election campaign". It's funny because it has just a hint of truth.

Likud

Tzachi Hanegbi's departure, there's real talk of the Likud ceasing to be a party:

Listen, the Likud has had some rough weeks and we don't mean to be rude about this, but seriously - if the only thing standing between your party and "complete disintegration" is a guy who's spent the last two years constantly getting demoted for shady-to-criminal activity, maybe you should reconsider what it is you think you're doing.
But Bibi has a solution - he'll move the Likud further right! Begging the immediate question: how?

Kadima

In the wake of a bombing that has reawakened the public's anxiety about security and given your party - associated as it is with security - the best polling data since it was created, of course you'd want to say that you're going to cut the defense budget:

"More than once" - he wanted to emphasize that he would be cutting defense. Well played.
Tzachi Hanegbi's mother is an unrepentant right winger and she is very, very unhappy about his recent defection from the Likud. There's probably another "he's such a lying crook" joke here too, but we just can't find it. The article's kind of sad - we don't suggest reading it.

Labor

Final enrollment for participating in the Labor primary ends today. Barak will almost certainly not be running, although he won't explain why until a meeting this evening. We don't think he'll tell the truth even then, because saying "I want to be untainted when I pick up the pieces after the disaster that will be the Peretz campaign" would just seem rude.
