AFP reports that Stan Greenberg and Jeremy Rosner have been called in to rescue the campaign of Israel’s Labor leader, Amir Peretz. Apparently, Stan will have his work cut out for him:

Despite Sharon’s incapacitation following a brain haemorrhage, Labour is still trailing a distant second in the polls ahead of a March 28 election and will do well to avoid losing some of the 23 seats it won in the last election for the 120-seat Knesset.

But, as Ehud Barak can attest, Stan has won in Israel before.

Angus Reid has more polling from Israel.

[Update:] Ynetnews.com adds a little color in a month-old story.
