JERUSALEM, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party opened a narrow lead on Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's centrist Kadima party ahead of Feb. 10 election, a poll on Friday showed.

The Maariv/Teleseker poll also showed that 48.6 percent of Israelis wanted the election postponed, citing Israel's ongoing military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
