Likud is the most-voted party in: Jerusalem (24%), Rishon Lezion (29%), Netanya (33%), Holon (31%), Eilat (35%), Kiryat Shemona (38%), and the main cities in the south battered by last summer’s war — Ashdod (31%), Ashkelon (39%), Beersheba (37%), and Sderot (42%).
The Zionist Union beats out Likud in Tel Aviv (34%), Caesarea (37%), Raanana (32%), and Haifa (25%). Herzog was also far more popular than Netanyahu in the war-torn kibbutzim along the Gaza border, receiving 53% of the vote in the region, as compared to 6% for Likud.
