- Joint List leads "Kul Al-Arab" poll with 48.3% of Arab votes.
- United List is a close second with 38.6% in the same poll.
- Non-Arab parties received minimal support in the survey.
- Nearly 10% of respondents indicated they would abstain from voting.
- The poll reflects intense competition and polarization among Arab parties.
A recent poll conducted by the "Kul Al-Arab" website via WhatsApp indicates that the Joint List is currently leading among Arab voters in Israel, with the United List close behind. The survey, which asked participants who they would vote for after the final Knesset lists were approved, reflects ongoing polarization and intense competition between major Arab parties.
The Joint List, headed by Yousef Jbareen, secured the top position with 1,500 votes, representing approximately 48.3% of the total. The United List, led by Mansour Abbas, followed in second place with 1,200 votes, or about 38.6% of the votes, highlighting a close race.
Support for non-Arab parties appeared limited in the poll. The Democrats list, headed by Yair Golan, garnered only 61 votes (around 2.0%), and 38 individuals indicated they would vote for "another Jewish list" (about 1.2%). This suggests a stronger consolidation of support around exclusively Arab political factions.
Furthermore, the poll revealed a significant segment of potential voters are considering abstaining. A total of 308 respondents, or approximately 9.9% of participants, stated they would not vote. This indicates a notable portion of the electorate may be disengaged, possibly due to a lack of faith in parliamentary change or ideological reasons.
These findings offer a glimpse into the anticipated political landscape and present a challenge for the competing lists to mobilize support and increase turnout within the Arab community to ensure adequate representation in the Knesset.
