A new poll in Israel shows that Israelis believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is better suited to lead their country than the three main challengers for his seat.
The poll, taken by Channel 12 news, shows Netanyahu came out on top in head-to-head matchups between him and former Premier Naftali Bennett, opposition leader Yair Lapid, and National Unity chair Benny Gantz, reported The Times of Israel Saturday.
Netanyahu netted 32% of those polled to 28% for Lapid. Meanwhile, 33% said they prefer Netanyahu compared to 32% for Bennett.
The poll comes two days after Netanyahu was in Washington, D.C., to address a joint session of Congress, but 65% of those responding said the speech did not change their minds about him.
However, 48% said they think the prime minister was in Washington to pursue his personal interests, compared to 44% who said they believe he was there to benefit Israel.
