With a coalition crisis in full swing amid a spat between the prime minister and finance minister, and rumors of an election on the horizon, a new poll suggests Israelis aren’t satisfied with their performances.

A Panels Politics poll published by Channel 2 asked Israelis how they’d rate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s performance. One-third gave him a failing grade.

Twenty-five percent said the prime minister did well, 24% said not good, 11% said excellent, and 7% were undecided.

Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon fared equally poorly, with 38% giving the Kulanu party leader a “not good grade,” 29% said good, 11% failing, and 7% were undecided.

The report didn’t say the survey’s sample size.
