A new Channel 12 poll broadcast Tuesday evening shows opposition MK Sharren Haskel beating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the personal suitability match-up for prime minister. The results mark a shift from previous N12 surveys, which had shown other opposition figures leading Netanyahu, and represent Haskel's first appearance at the top of this measure.
A new Channel 12 poll aired Tuesday evening indicates that opposition MK Sharren Haskel now leads Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the personal suitability match-up for prime minister. This is the first time Haskel, a former Likud member now in the National Unity camp, has topped this measure in a Channel 12 survey.
The poll comes amid a series of N12 surveys this summer that have shown various opposition figures — including Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett — defeating Netanyahu on suitability, before Haskel's emergence. The exact numbers from Tuesday's poll have not yet been released, but the result reflects a continuing shift in the political landscape. Haskel's recent rise has been noted in other polls as well, though the survey's full breakdown is pending.
