以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在周一发布的一项新民意调查中，落后于前陆军参谋长加迪·艾森科特的幅度进一步扩大，反对派政治家在公众对谁更适合担任政府首脑的看法中扩大了领先优势。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fell further behind former Army Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot in a new opinion poll released Monday, with the opposition politician widening his lead in public perceptions of who is better suited to head the government.
第12频道的调查显示，45%的受访者认为艾森科特更适合担任总理，而内塔尼亚胡仅为33%，差距从之前民调的10个百分点扩大至12个百分点。
The Channel 12 survey found that 45% of respondents considered Eisenkot better suited to serve as prime minister compared with 33% for Netanyahu, widening the gap to 12 percentage points from 10 in the previous poll.
该调查结果发布之际，距离以色列10月27日的议会选举仅剩八天，艾森科特领导的“正直”党也被预测将成为120席议会中最大的党。
The findings come just eight days before Israel’s Oct. 27 parliamentary elections, with Eisenkot’s Yashar party also projected to emerge as the largest in the 120-seat Knesset.
根据调查，“正直”党预计将赢得24席，领先于内塔尼亚胡的利库德党的21席。
Yashar was projected to win 24 seats, ahead of Netanyahu’s Likud with 21, according to the survey.
前总理纳夫塔利·贝内特领导的“同在”党紧随其后，预计获得14席，而雅伊尔·戈兰领导的民主党以及由阿拉伯人领导的联合名单各自预计将获得9席。
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s Together party followed with 14 seats, while Yair Golan’s Democrats and the Arab-led Joint List were projected to secure nine each.
阿维格多·利伯曼领导的以色列贝特努党、超正统派沙斯党以及国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔领导的犹太力量党各自预计将获得8席。
Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu party, the ultra-Orthodox Shas party and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party were each projected to win eight seats.
调查显示，反对内塔尼亚胡的犹太人领导的政党共计55席，较之前调查增加2席，而他的执政联盟为51席。
The poll put Jewish-led parties opposing Netanyahu at 55 seats, up two from the previous survey, compared with 51 for his governing coalition.
两个阿拉伯人领导的政党预计将再获得14席，使得不在内塔尼亚胡阵营中的政党总计达到69席，尽管这些政党未来是否会被纳入执政联盟仍然不确定。
The two Arab parties were projected to secure another 14 seats, bringing the total for parties outside Netanyahu’s bloc to 69, although their inclusion in a future governing coalition remains uncertain.
在另一个关于谁更适合担任总理的问题上，贝内特也领先于内塔尼亚胡，有39%的受访者支持前总理，而内塔尼亚胡仅为34%。另有22%的受访者认为两人都不适合。
In a separate question on suitability for prime minister, Bennett also led Netanyahu, with 39% favoring the former prime minister against 34% for Netanyahu. Another 22% considered neither suitable.
该调查还考察了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在选举前公开支持内塔尼亚胡的影响。
The survey also examined the impact of US President Donald Trump’s public endorsement of Netanyahu ahead of the elections.
约64%的受访者表示，特朗普的支持不会对他们的投票产生影响，而17%表示这使他们不太可能支持利库德党。
Some 64% of respondents said Trump’s backing would make no difference to their vote, while 17% said it made them less likely to support Likud.
只有12%的人表示，该背书加强了他们对内塔尼亚胡所在政党的支持。
Only 12% said the endorsement strengthened their support for Netanyahu’s party.
特朗普周日背书了内塔尼亚胡，称赞他的领导力以及与华盛顿的伙伴关系，尤其是在对抗伊朗方面。
Trump endorsed Netanyahu on Sunday, praising his leadership and partnership with Washington, particularly in confronting Iran.
