A poll conducted by Israel's Channel 13 ahead of the October 27 elections indicates that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc of parties holds an advantage over the Zionist opposition. However, the results suggest that forming a governing coalition will remain challenging for Netanyahu.
The survey found that parties aligned with the current government would secure 55 seats, while opposition Zionist parties would collectively gain 50 seats. Netanyahu's Likud party and Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party are projected to perform nearly identically, each potentially winning 20 seats.
Within Netanyahu's bloc, Likud is joined by Otzma Yehudit and United Torah Judaism, each expected to win eight seats. Shas and Religious Zionism-Zehut are projected to get seven seats each, and "The People of Israel" party is expected to secure five seats.
On the opposition side, "B'Yachad" is forecast to win 12 seats, "Democrats" 10, and "Yisrael Beiteinu" eight. Ra'am could obtain six seats, and the Joint List nine. The reservist parties and "Blue and White" are not expected to pass the 3.25% electoral threshold.
The poll surveyed 1013 individuals, with a margin of error of 2.5%.
