New Poll Shows Likud at Historic Low, Blocs Tied
A new poll conducted by Channel 13 News reveals the Likud party at a new low, with Gadi Eisenkot leading as the preferred prime minister with 22 mandates. Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett trail behind him in this metric. However, the poll indicates a dramatic tie between the political blocs. The Netanyahu bloc is projected to receive 53 mandates, matching the combined total of Eisenkot, Bennett, the Democrats, and Yisrael Beiteinu. Arab parties are expected to secure 14 mandates.
The poll was published by Maariv Online on September 9, 2026, and highlights the close race between the major political factions ahead of the next general election.
