Low confidence in Sharon
From combined dispatches
JERUSALEM -- Barely 21 percent of Israelis believe Prime Minister Ariel Sharon can end the Mideast violence, and his level of support is slipping, according to a poll released yesterday.
The Gallup Poll published in the Ma'ariv newspaper said 70 percent had lost faith in Mr. Sharon's ability to reduce tensions with the Palestinians.
In a Gallup Poll last month, 43 percent believed Mr. Sharon could end the violence, and 41 percent disagreed.
Mr. Sharon's own standing also took a beating, with 49 percent of the people approving of his performance as prime minister, while 42 percent expressed dissatisfaction. In last month's poll, 59 percent said they were satisfied.
