Zman Yisrael Poll: Eisenkot's Yashar Tops Likud for First Time, Opposition Hits 62 Seats
A new Zman Yisrael poll marks a campaign inflection point, putting Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party at 23 seats and Netanyahu's Likud at 21, the first survey to show the former IDF chief of staff overtaking the ruling party. Bennett and Lapid's Together alliance follows at 17, with Yisrael Beiteinu at 11, Shas at 10, Otzma Yehudit at 8, and United Torah Judaism and the Democrats each at 7. Zionist opposition parties together reach 62 of 120 Knesset seats, a workable majority to form the next government. The numbers reflect growing public confidence in security-credentialed leadership forged in the October 7 war and the campaigns that followed.
