New Poll Shows Bennett Gaining Two Seats as Netanyahu Bloc Holds 63

A poll released Monday projects nine Knesset seats for Naftali Bennett's Beyachad party, two more than the previous NEXT DATA survey on September 23. It puts Likud at 31 seats and Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party at 21, both down one. The poll's right-wing bloc remains at 63 seats; it assigns 45 to its left-wing bloc and 12 to Arab parties. In a four-candidate question about suitability for prime minister, 53% chose Benjamin Netanyahu and 32% chose Eisenkot. These are survey projections, not election results.
