Poll: Bennett gains, is now just 8 seats behind Likud

A Channel 12 poll indicates that Naftali Bennett’s Yamina part is catching up to Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud, which falls under 30 seats for the first time in 18 months.

It gives Likud 29, Yamina 21, Yesh-Atid-Telem 17, Joint List 15, Blue and White 9, Shas 9, Yisrael Beytenu 8, United Torah Judaism 7, Meretz 5.

It indicates the right-wing bloc would have a parliamentary majority with 66 seats.

The station also tests a hypothetical party run by Likud MK Yifat Shasha-Biton, who has gone to head with Netanyahu on the virus rules.

Her party would pick up eight seats, snagging three from Likud, which would drop to 26, and two from Yamina, which would win 19.
