New Survey Shows Likud Maintaining Lead, Gantz’s Camp Loses Support
In a new mandate survey conducted by the Direct Falls Institute and published by Channel 14, it has been revealed that the Likud party continues to lead in support among voters. The survey, which had the participation of 809 graduates from the entire population, showed the Likud party increasing its mandate to 31, compared to last week.
On the other hand, Benny Gantz’s state camp saw a decrease in support, losing one mandate and dropping to 27. Yesh Atid remained stable with 16 mandates, while Shas and Torah Judaism also maintained their support at 10 and 7 mandates respectively. Yisrael Beitenu, however, lost one mandate and dropped to 6 mandates.
Religious Zionism, led by Smotrich, showed an improvement in support, rising from 4 mandates to 5. Otzma Yehudit, led by Ben Gabir, remained stable with 5 mandates.
Among the Arab parties, Ra’am maintained its support with 5 mandates, while Hadash-Ta’al also remained stable with 4 mandates. Meretz, like last week, held on to its 4 mandates. However, both Labor and Balad did not pass the blocking percentage.
In analyzing the blocs, the survey showed that the right-wing coalition gained 2 mandates compared to last week, reaching a total of 58 mandates. The center-left bloc, without the support of the Arab parties, only reached 53 mandates. The opposition bloc, including Ra’am and New-Ta’al, received a total of 62 mandates.
Although the opposition bloc has a majority, the survey suggests that a viable government formation may not be possible based on these results.
It is worth noting that this survey reflects the opinions of the surveyed graduates and may not necessarily reflect the overall sentiment of the entire population.
Further comments on the article are awaited.
