A new poll by Channel 13 News reveals differing preferences for prime minister among young and older Israeli voters, with the deciding factor appearing to be sector affiliation rather than age.
The survey, conducted ahead of upcoming elections, focused on voters aged 18-25, who constitute approximately 8% of the electorate. Initial analysis suggested a generational divide, with most young respondents favoring Benjamin Netanyahu and older voters preferring Gadi Eisenkot.
However, a deeper look at the data indicated that these preferences are not primarily driven by age differences. Instead, the poll suggests that sector affiliation, referring to religious or ethnic communities within Israel, plays a more significant role in shaping voting choices among young people.
The findings were presented on Channel 13's main news edition. The poll's methodology and specific breakdowns by sector were not detailed in the report.
