NEXT YEAR, IN (WITH) LABOR?: Fox News is reporting a recent survey done by Dahaf Polling, indicating that Israeli public opinion is strongly in favor of the Road Map and for permitting Abu Mazen to establish himself as a credible alternative among Palestinians to the Islamists. Respondents favored ending Israel's occupation of Gaza and the West Bank by a surprising 67 percent.

Dahaf, incidentally, is recognized as one of the more trustworthy and unbiased public opinion polls in Israel; its head, Dr Mina Tzemah, conducts surveys frequently for Yedioth Ahronoth and Channel Two. On the other hand, public opinion polls in Israel have recurring problems with undercounts among three populations: Israeli Arabs, haredim, and immigrants from the former Soviet Union (see this piece on the subject).
