Given the scandal that is shaking the chair of "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's, a poll taken for Channel 10 found Sunday found that the man's departure from politics due to criminal investigations against him could end up helping his "Likud" Party.

Poll: Likud better off without Netanyahu

Two-thirds of respondents said that if an indictment is issued, Netanyahu should quit.

Twenty-one percent said, he should not, and 13% said they did not know.

The poll found that if elections were held now and Netanyahu remained the head of the "Likud", his party would win 27 seats under his leadership, "Zionist Union" 22, "Yesh Atid" 18, Joint List 11, "Bayit Yehudi" nine," Yisrael Beytenu" eight, "Kulanu" and "United Torah Judaism" seven each, "Shas" six, and "Meretz" five.

But if the "Likud" was led by one of its other leaders, the poll predicted it would win four additional seats and end up with 31, one more than Netanyahu won at the helm of the party two years ago.

When asked who would be most fit to lead the Right if Netanyahu does not run, 23% chose his former number two in the "Likud", former minister Gideon Sa'ar, who fared much better than any other candidate.
