Most Israelis believe State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss' claims over Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's in the disagreement over the report on the handling of the home front during the war in Lebanon, a Ynet poll conducted by the Smith Institute revealed.
According to the poll, 58 percent of the public believe the Comptroller's version of events. Only 9 percent of the respondents believe that Prime Minister Olmert's version is more reliable than Lindenstrauss'. Another 12 percent of those polled do not believe either Olmert or Lindenstrauss.
At Lindenstrauss' meeting with the Knesset State Control Committee earlier in the week, he criticized Olmert for failing to respond to a series of questions about the government's success in meeting the home front's needs, sent after he refused to testify in person.
The Prime Minister's Office responded in kind, saying "a new record has been broken here, with the comptroller misleading the MKs who appointed him in order to reach his goal."
When asked whether Olmert's leadership had positively or negatively affected Israel's current situation, 68 percent said that the situation had worsened. Only 6 percent of respondents believe Israel's situation has improved, and a quarter (24 percent) said that the situation has not changed.
Olmert's prospects appear to be grim, as 64 percent of the public believe he should resign immediately and call for new elections.
The Ynet poll was conducted among 400 people, comprised of a representative sampling of Israeli society. |
