Legal correspondent Avishai Grinzaig has raised serious questions about a poll released by the "Noam for Israel" party, which claimed 5% of the Israeli public were considering voting for them. Grinzaig stated that the party refused to provide him with the raw data from the poll, and Dr. Rafi Smith, who allegedly conducted the survey, also directed him back to the party. Grinzaig's investigation revealed that the poll surveyed only the Jewish population in Israel, making the claim of 5% of the general public misleading. He also noted that the poll was conducted two weeks before its publication, yet presented as recent. Furthermore, the survey did not ask respondents which party they intended to vote for, but rather if they would consider voting for Noam. Grinzaig also criticized the wording of the possible answers and pointed out that the poll's funding by the Noam party was not disclosed, with it being presented as an independent survey by Dr. Smith. He argued that this manner of presenting the poll violates election law, which requires disclosure of the poll's commissioner, conductor, date, sample population, number of participants, and margin of error. Grinzaig concluded that while polls are generally problematic, this case seemed particularly egregious.
