Poll Puts Likud at 19 as Winter Falls Below Threshold

A new election survey gives Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar 24 seats and Likud 19, while Ofer Winter’s Amcha Yisrael falls below the electoral threshold. Together receives 13 seats, the Democrats 11 and the Joint List 10, with coalition parties totaling 48 seats, opposition parties 57 and Arab parties 15. Eisenkot leads Benjamin Netanyahu 46% to 35% on suitability for prime minister, while 19% are unsure. A hypothetical Eisenkot-Bennett-Trooper union receives 36 seats, while a Winter-Smotrich union receives seven. The poll surveyed 1,407 respondents and reports a 3.4% margin of error.
