Channel 12 and Kan surveys: Likud and Yashar pull ahead as Beyachad continues to slip

A Channel 12 poll Thursday put Likud at 23 seats and Eisenkot's Yashar at 21, with Bennett-Lapid's Beyachad slipping to 18. A separate Kan poll by the Kantar Institute (n=553, ±4.2%) put Likud at 24, Yashar at 22, and Beyachad at 16. In Kan's head-to-head matchups, Eisenkot led Netanyahu 43-39, Netanyahu led Bennett 44-41, and Eisenkot crushed Bennett 42-21 as preferred opposition leader. Neither the coalition bloc nor the Zionist opposition crossed 61 in either survey.
