A new poll conducted among 543 Israeli youth aged 18-22 reveals a significantly different political map than currently exists. The survey, published by ynet, indicates that if only this age group were to vote, the ultra-Orthodox parties would see a substantial increase in their representation.
Specifically, the parties Bayad, Otzma Yehudit, and Yesh! together would garner between 15 and 16 Knesset seats. This projection suggests a potential surge in support for these parties among the younger demographic, potentially altering the balance of power in the Israeli parliament.
The poll also indicates that the ultra-Orthodox public, as a whole, would surpass the electoral threshold, securing representation. This finding highlights a notable trend among young voters that deviates from broader national polling patterns.
