Haaretz Journalist Warns Polls Underestimate Netanyahu's Strength

Haaretz journalist Josh Breiner expressed skepticism regarding recent political polls, particularly those showing the Shas party gaining seven Knesset seats. Breiner argued that these polls also underestimate the current strength of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even in the aftermath of the October 7th attacks.

Breiner criticized political commentators for what he described as living in a "bubble" and echoing their own desires reflected in the latest poll results they read. He suggested that this leads to an inaccurate portrayal of the political landscape.

Addressing the "change bloc" (referring to opposition parties), Breiner urged them not to rely on the current polling data. He concluded with a stark warning, stating, "The future of the country is at stake."
