Poll Shows Joint List Dominating Arab Vote in Upcoming Knesset Elections
A wide-ranging poll conducted by the Kal Al-Arab website and newspaper, specifically targeting the Arab public ahead of the 26th Knesset elections, indicates a strong preference for Arab political parties, with the Joint List leading significantly. The survey revealed that 88.2% of Arab voters intend to support the two main Arab slates, the Joint List and the United Arab List. The Joint List secured 52.7% of the surveyed Arab vote, while the United Arab List garnered 35.5%.
The poll also showed a low rate of declared boycotts or abstentions, totaling only 4.0% among respondents. Other parties received minimal support from the Arab electorate, with the Democratic Party receiving 3.7%, Yachad 1.7%, and those who do not wish to vote at 1.6%. Major Israeli parties like Likud and Shas received negligible percentages, indicating a weak presence among Arab voters.
The survey was conducted to gauge the political leanings of the Arab public in anticipation of the upcoming elections.
