A poll published by Channel 12, which maybe has a fourth election on its mind, finds continuing sky-high support for Likud and Blue and White still managing to garner a significant amount of votes despite party leader Benny Gantz breaking ranks to join up with Likud Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the poll, if elections were held today, Likud would gain 40 seats, while the Joint List, with 15 seats would be the next largest party.
Yesh Atid would manage 14 seats and former partner Blue and White would drop to 12 seats.
Shas and Yisrael Beytenu would get nine seats each, followed by Yamina with eight, UTJ with seven and Meretz with six.
The Labor party would remain well below the entrance threshold, with only 1.9 percent of votes, barely more than half the number needed to enter the Knesset.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
