Translated & summarized from Kipa by baba
A new poll shows Ofer Vinter's "Amcha Yisrael" party failing to cross the electoral threshold with only 2.9% of the vote, potentially losing significant right-wing support. Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud leads the survey with 25 seats, but his bloc is projected to win only 57 seats, falling short of the 61 needed to form a government. Other parties like "Yashar!" and "Beit" also feature prominently in the poll, while smaller parties struggle to gain traction.

A new poll released by i24NEWS indicates a concerning situation for the "Amcha Yisrael" party, led by Ofer Vinter, which garnered only 2.9% of the vote and remains below the electoral threshold. This result is particularly disappointing for Vinter's party, which aims to establish itself as a significant force on the right.
The survey places the Likud party, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, in first place with 25 seats. "Yashar!", led by Gadi Eisenkot, follows with 21 seats. Naftali Bennett's "Beit" party secures 13 seats, and Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit receives 10.
Other parties in the poll include the Democrats with 9 seats, and Shas, Yahadut HaTorah, and the Joint List each with 8 seats. Yisrael Beiteinu, Ra'am, and the Religious Zionism and Identity list each receive 6 seats.
At the lower end, alongside Vinter's party, the "Miluimnikim" and "HaKalkalit" parties are polling at 2.4%. Moti Leitner's "HaTzibur HaCharedi," Blue and White, "Am Yisrael," Achi, and "Tzeva Kachol" each received less than 1%.
The poll results highlight the difficulty small parties face in crossing the electoral threshold. For Vinter's party, this could mean a significant loss of votes for the right-wing bloc if the outcome is repeated in the election.
In terms of blocs, Netanyahu's bloc is projected to win 57 seats, four short of the 61 needed for a majority. The opposition parties collectively reach 49 seats, while the Joint List and Ra'am together hold 14 seats. Neither major bloc appears capable of forming a government without additional support.
