A Kantar poll for Kan News published Sunday projects Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party at 23 Knesset seats and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud at 21 if elections were held now. The joint Bennett-Lapid Together list is projected at 11 seats, while the Democrats and Yisrael Beiteinu receive nine each. United Torah Judaism, Shas, Otzma Yehudit and the Joint List receive seven each; Religious Zionism-Zehut gets six, Ra'am five, and Amcha Israel and the Hendel-Zelicha list four each. The poll puts both the right-wing bloc and the anti-Netanyahu bloc at 52 seats, leaving neither with a majority. The reports do not state a sample size or margin of error.
