Dahaf Poll: Aryeh Deri party could take 5 right wing seats to hand over to
Left

The dream of the Left is that a party headed by Aryeh Deri, who was
previously in the Shas party, would grab enough right wing voters to enable
him to put the left into power. Deri is friends with Chaim Ramon and
critics say he is devoted to the "holy trinity" (me, myself and I).

For those basing their plans on the results of the poll a word of warning:
these results are before any effort has been made to warn that a vote for
the Deri party is a vote to bring the left to power, leave the Golan, divide
Jerusalem etc. Israel's recent political history is full of people that
Yediot Ahronot promoted with favorable Dahaf polls that puttered out at the
real poll on election day.

Telephone poll of a representative sample of 500 adult Israelis (including
Arab Israelis) carried out by Dahaf for Yediot Achronot the weeks of 25
February 2011 and published on 25 February 2011
