JERUSALEM -- The last polls just days before Israel's election show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party trailing behind the center-left opposition. Poll results in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper on Friday gave the Zionist Union, comprised of labor and a center-left party, 26 seats over 22 for Netanyahu's hawkish Likud party. It polled 1,032 people with a margin of error of 2.5 percent. Other polls had similar results.

Netanyahu Soundly Defeats Chief Rival in Israeli Elections By JODI RUDORENMARCH 17, 2015 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/18/world/middleeast/israel-election-netanyahu-herzog.html Remember how liberal groups in the US tried to influence Israeli elections via corrupt actions like GOTV, Polling, and voter discouragement? A Netanyahu backer in Congress...asked Secretary of State John Kerry whether U.S. funds to OneVoice have been used for V15 “or any similar effort to exert undue influence over the Israeli political process.” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki called the allegations an “absolutely false report.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-08/u-s-flow-of-funds-to-influence-israel-election-spurs-foul-cry

Israel’s press Americanizes their reporting tactics.

Trump: Iran Deal Requires U.S. Protecting Iran in Event of Israeli Strike

by Jacob Kornbluh
Sept 2, 2015

In a phone interview with CNN Tuesday evening, Trump claimed that there's "something in the Iran deal" that "people don't understand" saying if someone attacks Iran, "we have to come to their defense."

"Does that include Israel?" Trump asked. "And most people say yes, they don't have an exclusion for Israel. So if Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe, the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel." ..."

Trump was most probably referring to language highlighted by the opponents of the deal. On page 142, the deal includes a clause that states, "Co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran's ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems."

Washington-based Center for Security Policy asserted that Annex III appears "to commit the United States and other world powers to the defense of Iran's nuclear program."

Israeli Opposition Party Takes Solid Lead In Last Polls Before Election http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/13/israeli-election-opposition-lead_n_6865892.html

“Israel’s press Americanizes their reporting tactics.”
They tried to demoralize the voters

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

(Article):"..State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki called the allegations an “absolutely false report.”

The last "absolutely false report" that Jen Psaki issued was about Benghazi, and we now know how that worked out.
Psaki is about as reliable in telling the truth as is Obungler !

Only four days before the election, polls showed Herzog taking a four-seat lead into the final weekend before the election. Exit polls on the night of the election showed Netanyahu had closed the gap. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/18/middleeast/israel-election-polls/index.html

The State Department gave money to destabilize and influence their election.

I have no idea what the real poll situation is, however.

1.) This election will be determined by enthusiasm and turnout. This is the strangest election in history and no one has any idea who will show up on election day.

2.) The establishment of both parties, Wall Street, and the press have never been more terrified and determined to stop a candidate. If ever the polls are going to be out-and-out rigged it is now.

3.) The polls are all over the place, they CAN’T all be right. He can’t be winning, tied, and loosing all at the same time. Whatever poll proves to be the most accurate will be right only by dumb luck...

4.) Part of the rationale for pushing D+15 polls is an attempt to create a bandwagon effect. People want to part of the winning team.

5.) The media has been screaming for a year that Trump supporters are “literally Nazis.” Will this prevent them from voting for him or just make it hard to poll them: The Wilder effect.

6.) If Trump is getting a lot of support from people who rarely if ever vote this support could be very hard to poll accurately

7.) Lots of undecided voters and neither candidate seems to be able to hit 50%

Good, that means he will win easily : )

Yes, but also to demoralize donors and supporters! They are not to be believed.

Oh indeed just like Brexit
The way to overcome a rigged system is to overwhelm the vote

Hopefully they cook these polls Kosher!

That is so true.

"The way to overcome a rigged system is to overwhelm the vote"

Overwhelm we much!

[Nifster]

Yes indeed😉

It was apparent from the raw vote count all night that Likud pulled ahead with a 30 seat win.

Exit polls projecting a Zionist Union victory turned out to be way off.
