Poll: 46% think Netanyahu should resign, 17% say he should take leave of absence

Channel 12 publishes a poll conducted before today’s charges announced against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying 46 percent of respondents thought that if an indictment is announced, the premier must resign.

17% of them said he should take a leave of absence, and 30% thought he should remain prime minister.

The poll also included a Knesset poll ahead of likely new elections, predicting a similar balance of power to the current one, but it remains to be seen whether today’s dramatic announcement will affect potential voters in future surveys.
