Direct Polls’ October 1 survey gives Likud 28 Knesset seats, up one from the previous week, while Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar holds at 22. Together and the Democrats receive nine seats each, and the Joint List rises by one to eight. Religious Zionism–Zehut and Ra’am each fall to five seats. Neither political bloc commands a majority, according to the survey. The poll sampled 504 adults aged 18 and older using a digital polling system and panel, with a reported margin of error of 4.3 percentage points at 95% confidence.
