Poll: Likud would win 29 seats, Yamina 22, if elections held today

A television poll predicts the right-wing and ultra-Orthodox political bloc would pick up 65 of the Knesset’s 120 seats if elections were held today. That includes Likud with 29 seats and the current opposition’s Yamina with 22. Both right-wing parties have recently been at odds.

The center-left, by contrast, would receive 48 seats, with Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu party winning the remaining seven seats, according to the poll.

The Channel 13 poll predicts:

Likud 29
Yamina 22
Yesh Atid 20
Joint List 11
Blue and White 10
Shas 8
Meretz 7
Yisrael Beytenu 7
United Torah Judaism 6

It also finds that a plurality of respondents (50%) believe elections are preferable to the continued operation of the unity government. Another 35% say the government should continue, while 15% say they don’t know.

The survey also finds that 27% of the public would refuse to get a coronavirus vaccine.
