(IsraelNN.com) Labor Party supporters are evenly split regarding the question – "if the Winograd Commission includes personal recommendations against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, should the Labor Party leave the government?"

A poll reported by Dahaf polling agency director Mina Tzemach on the Knesset Channel found that 45% of Labor supporters answered "yes," and 45% answered "no."

The Winograd Commission is expected to release a scathing report regarding the way the Olmert government handled the Second Lebanon War. While Labor head Ehud Barak has vowed to leave the government if the Winograd report implicates Olmert, many left-wingers believe that toppling the government is a bad idea because it will lead to a victory by the Likud under Binyamin Netanyahu.
