Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar led with 23 seats, followed by Likud with 21 and Naftali Bennett’s Together with 15. Likud gained 2 seats compared with the previous survey. Midgam, headed by Mano Geva, surveyed 1,018 Israeli adults on October 22–23 through internet and telephone interviews, with a published maximum sampling error of ±4.4 percentage points.
