Eisenkot leads most polls, but Netanyahu shortens distance, according to some of the top pollers
Across the five polls, Eisenkot’s Yashar averaged 22.2 seats, ahead of Likud’s 21.2, while the bloc picture remained inconclusive with the Netanyahu leading by a thin margin.
Five polls released on Wednesday night painted a mixed picture of Israel's political landscape, with no clear winner between the main factions. Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party narrowly led Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu in the party level, but the blocs remained unstable. Ofer Winter's People of Israel crossed the electoral threshold with four seats, while the Hendel-Zelicha list secured four seats as well.
Channel 14's survey contrasted with the majority of polls, showing Likud ahead by a significant margin. Meanwhile, Ofer Winter's party and the Hendel-Zelicha list both entered the electoral threshold, altering the seat distribution.
A KAN News poll maintained Eisenkot's Yashar in the lead with 24 seats, while Likud dropped to 20 seats under Netanyahu's leadership. Both the People of Israel and the Hendel-Zelicha list secured four seats each.
Despite the fluctuations, the balance between the two main blocs remained inconclusive, with 52 seats on each side. However, the Channel 13 poll revealed a strengthening Netanyahu bloc at 54 seats, compared to the change bloc's 52.
Channel 12's poll saw Yashar maintain a slight lead with 23 seats, while Likud lost one seat to 20. The biggest change occurred in the opposition bloc, which weakened by two seats to 66. The Hendel-Zelicha list, led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha, entered the political arena with four seats, effectively creating a third bloc outside the two main camps.
Channel 14's poll presented a different image, with 64 seats for the right-wing bloc led by Likud. The change bloc, including Yashar and Bennett's B Yachad, stood at 53 seats. Ofer Winter's People of Israel and the Hendel-Zelicha list each received four seats, shifting the political landscape.
Channel 16's poll surprised with the parties near the electoral threshold, with Ofer Winter's People of Israel and the Hendel-Zelicha list each gaining four seats. The Netanyahu bloc totaled 52 seats, while the opposition bloc reached 53. Yashar led with 21 seats, while Likud came in second with 18 seats, and Bennett's B Yachad strengthened to 16 seats.
