Olmert, Peretz ratings hit new low
Advertisements [?]
---

Of the 507 people who participated in the survey, 41 percent said that they had faith in the committee and its work, while 44 percent said that they were suspicious.

From the point of view of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, this finding is potentially positive, in view of the poor showing that he personally made in the survey. Olmert's approval rating this week plummeted to 22 percent, compared to 48 percent six weeks ago.

Defense Minister Amir Peretz fared even worse, with only a 14 percent approval rating, down from 37 percent six weeks ago.

The public is also split in its views on whether Israel should talk to a Palestinian unity government that includes Hamas: Some 45 percent believe that Israel should negotiate with such government, while 46 percent think that it should not.
