A Channel 13 poll of 701 respondents sees Blue and White overtake Likud by one seat (32 of the Knesset’s 120 seats vs. 31) to become the largest party.
Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu remains the potential coalition kingmaker, with 11 seats.
Neither Blue and White nor Likud have a clear path to forming a coalition without Liberman or each other, the survey suggests.
The poll indicates that the nationalist Moshe Feiglin’s retreat from the election race last week does not boost Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud or Ayelet Shaked’s Yamina. Rather, it appears to give a modest bump to the far-right Otzma Yehudit, which remains under the electoral threshold.
The poll, published 16 days before the election, has a margin of error of 4 percent.
