The first major poll after Avi Gabbay’s victory in Labor’s leadership primary yesterday shows the Labor-led Zionist Union faction at second place to Likud, ahead of centrist Yesh Atid.
According to the Channel 2 poll, Likud wins 25 seats, Zionist Union at 20, Yesh Atid 18, Jewish Home 13, the Arab Joint List 13, Kulanu 8, United Torah Judaism 7, Yisrael Beytenu 6, Shas 5, Meretz 5.
The poll puts Zionist Union, a Labor-led alliance with Hatnua, at far higher than other polls in recent months, which have shown it crash as low as 12 seats — but still four seats less than the faction’s current 24-seat showing in the Knesset.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
