Summary:

This study is one in a series of election studies conducted since 1969 by Arian and Shamir, investigating voting patterns, public opinion, and political participation in Israel. This study in particular was conducted during February-April 2006, prior to the elections of the 17th Knesset. Respondents provided their opinions on the general condition of Israel, handling of national issues, and the main problem facing the Israeli government. Views were also elicited from respondents in regard to the development of a peace agreement with the Palestinians to end the Arab-Israeli conflict, evaluation of Arab aspirations, and values in the possible development of the State of Israel. Respondents answered a set of questions regarding their support for the Kadima Party, the Labor Party, the Likud Party, and other political parties, their support for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz, Likud Party Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, and other political leaders, and several combinations of political coalitions. They also gave their views on issues such as Jerusalem, terrorism, economics including their personal situation, social policy, foreign and security matters, state-religion relations, the positions of political parties, attributes of political parties and leaders, and factors that would affect voting decisions. Respondents were asked about media access, their participation in political discussion, their ability to influence government policy, their voting intention, their prediction of the results of the upcoming elections among political parties and coalitions, to provide an account of their past electoral behavior, and to answer knowledge questions about the government. Demographic questions asked of respondents included gender, age, self-definition of identity, religion, birthplace, immigration, residence, education, employment, monthly family expenditure...
