Poll: Likud would win 29 seats if new elections held

Likud would win 29 seats in the Knesset if fresh elections were held, despite the corruption allegations surrounding its leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Channel 10 report says.

Although one seat fewer than its current tally, the poll result was the best yet for the party since police recommended last month that Netanyahu be indicted in a pair of corruption cases.

Following Likud in the poll is Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party, which would win 24 seats (11). The opposition Zionist Union would win 12 seats (24) and the Joint (Arab) List would win 12, one fewer than its current total.

Rounding out the poll, the left-wing Meretz would win 8 seats (5), Kulanu 7 (10), Yisrael Beytenu 7 (5), United Torah Judaism 6 (6) and Shas 5 (7).
