Israeli Election Polls Show Eisenkot Leading Netanyahu, Blocs Neck-and-Neck
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Four recent Israeli election polls show Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party leading Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud with just nine days until the vote. However, none of the surveys indicate that either the opposition or coalition bloc will secure the 61 seats needed for a Knesset majority. The average of the polls shows the opposition bloc with 51.25 seats and Netanyahu's bloc with 51 seats, highlighting a tight race where smaller parties could be kingmakers.
