A Channel 2 poll shows that 54% of respondents are opposed to the ceasefire, and 37% support it.

A majority — 59% — do not believe Israel won against Hamas (29% believe it did). Still, the public’s satisfaction with the army’s performance stands at 83%.

The survey indicates that 59% of participants are dissatisfied with the prime minister’s performance during the campaign, and just 32% are happy with Netanyahu — a continuing trend of falling ratings in recent weeks.

A Haaretz survey published today shows Netanyahu with even less support. Fifty-two percent are pleased with the prime minister, and 40% are not, its results show. This is a marked drop for the prime minister, it notes, who saw 77% support in an August 5 Haaretz poll.
