Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s popularity appears to be unaffected by the police’s recommendation that he be indicted for bribery.

According to a poll conducted by Channel 10, if elections were held today, Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party would get 27 seats down from its current 30. The opposition’s Yesh Atid party would receive 25 seats, up from its current 11, while the Zionist Union would get 16 seats, down from its current 24 seats.

A separate poll conducted by Hadashot news reveals similar results. Their poll finds that if elections were to be held today, the Likud would get 26 seats, Yesh Atid would get 22 and the Zionist Union would get 15 seats.
