  • A poll suggests 40,000 Haredi voters will support the new 'HaTzibur HaCharedi' party.
  • An additional 55,000 Haredi voters are currently undecided, according to the survey.
  • The poll was conducted exclusively among 504 Haredi respondents.
  • 6% of respondents indicated a high likelihood of voting for the party.
  • 8.1% of those surveyed said they would consider voting for 'HaTzibur HaCharedi'.

A new in-depth poll conducted by Mano Geva for the nascent 'HaTzibur HaCharedi' (The Haredi Public) party, led by Moti Leitner, indicates substantial potential support within the Haredi community. The survey, exclusively for Haredi respondents, found that approximately 40,000 Haredi voters have already decided to cast their ballot for Leitner's party. Furthermore, an additional 55,000 Haredi individuals are reportedly undecided about their voting intentions.

The poll surveyed 504 Haredi respondents, a sample size considered relatively large for national polls where the Haredi population is a small fraction of those questioned. This larger sample is crucial for assessing new parties aiming for sector-specific support, allowing for a more detailed examination of trends compared to smaller samples. Previous polls from Channel 13, which also sampled a broader Haredi demographic, showed 'HaTzibur HaCharedi' garnering 1% to 2% of the overall vote.

Detailed findings from the current survey reveal that 6% of respondents indicated a high likelihood of voting for the party, while 8.1% stated they would consider voting for it. Conversely, 12.7% believed they were unlikely to vote for the party, and a significant 73.2% responded that they would not support it under any circumstances. Overall, 14.1% of those polled expressed some willingness to consider voting for 'HaTzibur HaCharedi', with 6% definitively stating they would vote for it or were highly likely to do so.
