New Poll Puts Coalition Bloc at 60 as Winter Falls to Five Seats

Direct Polls' September 2 survey puts Likud at 27 seats and the coalition bloc at 60, its first 60-seat result in this series since May. Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael falls from eight seats to five, while the new Religious Zionism-Zehut list rises two to six after Bezalel Smotrich and Moshe Feiglin agreed to run together. Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar remains on 23, the non-Arab opposition totals 48, and Arab parties hold 12, producing a 60-60 overall tie. The digital survey sampled 522 Israeli adults and reports a 4.2-percentage-point margin of error at 95% confidence.
