Poll: Blue and White support drops; 6 parties straddle electoral threshold
A new poll from Channel 12 shows support for the Blue and White party continuing to drop, with the political alliance led by Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid predicted to receive 31 seats in the 120-member Knesset. The poll also shows six parties receiving four seats, the minimum threshold of 3.25% required to enter the Knesset, meaning the current balance in favor of the right-wing bloc could easily change on the April 9 election day.
The poll’s results are as follows:
Blue and White 31
Likud 28
Labor 10
Hadash-Ta’al 7
United Torah Judaism 7
Union of Right Wing Parties 7
Shas 6
Kulanu 4
New Right 4
Meretz 4
Ra’am-Balad 4
Yisrael Beytenu 4
Zehut 4
Gesher 0
Right-wing bloc 64
Left-wing bloc 56
