Likud poll: Benjamin Netanyahu beats Gideon Sa’ar

T. Belman.  What matters is whether the right block is bigger with Saar or Barkat or Bibi heading Likud.

When Likud members realize that Bibi at the head is hurting the right wing bloc, they will abandon him.

The poll, further reveals that Sa’ar is the leading candidate in taking Netanyahu’s place after he steps down, but wins fewer votes than Nir Barkat between him and Sa’ar.
