Senior Pollster Warns Ofer Vinter's Party Could Sink Likud to 18 Seats

Translated & summarized from Srugim by baba
The story · English

Dr. Menachem Lazar, CEO of Lazar Research, stated on Thursday that if Ofer Vinter's new party, 'Am Israel,' runs until the end, it will siphon votes from the Likud party, potentially reducing it to approximately 18 Knesset seats. Lazar's assessment aligns with the Likud party's current campaign against Vinter, urging him to withdraw from the race.

Minister Eli Cohen echoed this sentiment, calling on Vinter to step aside, arguing that his candidacy jeopardizes the right-wing bloc and wastes two to three Knesset seats. This concern is amplified by reports from Maariv reporter Anna Barsky, indicating that some within Likud fear that attacks on Vinter might inadvertently strengthen him or keep him below the electoral threshold.

Conversely, other Likud sources believe that continuing to attack Vinter is a strategic error. They estimate that Vinter's party could garner four to five seats, surpassing the electoral threshold and delivering significant electoral power to the right-wing bloc.
