A poll published tonight by the Kan public broadcaster shows Benny Gantz’s National Unity party with a significantly stronger showing than Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.
According to the poll, if elections were to be held today, National Unity would receive 33 seats (almost tripling its current 12), while Likud would get just 20 (compared to its current 32).
The centrist Yesh Atid led by Yair Lapid would receive 14 seats (dropping from 24), while the combined Religious Zionism-Otzma Yehudit slate would get 12 (a slight drop from its current 14).
Shas and Yisrael Beytenu would get 10 each, UTJ would get seven, Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am would get five each, while Meretz — which did not cross the electoral threshold in the last election — would get four, and the Labor party would get zero.
Kan says it polled 600 respondents with a margin of error of 4%.
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.
