- Avi Maoz's Noam L'Yisrael party is polling at 5%, potentially winning five Knesset seats.
- The poll shows a sharp decline in loyalty to major Haredi parties, down from 76.3% to 60.6%.
- United Torah Judaism support dropped from 49.1% to 40.6%, and Shas from 27.1% to 20.0%.
- 19% of respondents remain undecided, a key demographic for parties in the final campaign weeks.
- Party Chairman Avi Maoz sees the results as validation of his party's focus on "value-based" issues.
A new poll conducted by the Rafi Smith polling institute indicates that the Noam L'Yisrael party, led by Avi Maoz, is currently polling at 5% of the Israeli public, placing it above the electoral threshold of 3.25% and potentially securing around five Knesset seats. This surge is occurring amidst a significant decline in party loyalty among the Haredi and traditional sectors of the population.
According to the survey, 60% of respondents stated they would definitely not vote for Noam L'Yisrael, while an additional 16% indicated they probably would not. However, 19% of those polled remained undecided, representing a key demographic for all parties in the final two weeks of the campaign.
The poll also reveals a substantial drop in support for the major Haredi parties, which garnered 76.3% of the Haredi vote in the previous election but now stand at 60.6%. United Torah Judaism specifically saw its support decrease from 49.1% to 40.6%, while Shas fell from 27.1% to 20.0%.
The Rafi Smith institute attributes this shift to a structural change rather than a temporary fluctuation, citing a decrease in party loyalty alongside a desire to uphold "value-based" principles. This leads to a fragmentation of votes, weakening the larger parties as the public seeks new representation.
Noam L'Yisrael views these findings as validation of their platform. Party Chairman Avi Maoz stated, "The religious and traditional public, loyal to the values of Torah and family, understands that it needs real protection and not just promises. This is a daily war for the education issues in the State of Israel, not just a gimmick on election eve." He added, "These figures are just the beginning, and we call on everyone who has not yet decided to join us and ensure that the value-based voice is heard in the next Knesset."
