Israelis not so dumb after all

Israelis are figuring out the truth about their finance minister, Yair Lapid.

Seventy-eight percent of the population disapproves of Yair Lapid's performance as Finance Minister, a Panels Politics poll for the Knesset Channel found on Monday.

Asked to grade him in the task of selecting a new Bank of Israel governor, 53% said he performed badly, 33% gave medium marks, 8% rated the performance good, while a mere 1% thought it was very good.

The poll may also dampen Lapid's ambitions towards the premiership; 82% of respondents said he was not fit for the position, versus only 12% who did. Even Among Yesh Atid voters, 54% said he was not keeping his promises, and 43% said they would not vote for the party again.

Reminds me of Amir 'Comrade' Peretz as 'defense minister.'

 Hopefully the consequences from Lapid won't be as bad as the consequences from Peretz were.
