Poll predict Sharon win
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's new centrist party would win a March election, altering Israel's political map by crushing rightists opposed to peacemaking with the Palestinians, surveys found on Friday.
The polls, the most comprehensive conducted since Sharon quit the right-wing Likud party he helped found, indicated that Sharon could set up a ruling coalition with the centre-left Labour Party led by former trade union leader Amir Peretz.
"Sharon plus Peretz equals a coalition," said a headline in the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth daily.
