Translated & summarized from Behadrei Haredim by baba
Three recent Israeli opinion polls show conflicting results regarding party standings and potential bloc majorities. A Channel 12 poll favors Gadi Eisenkot's Yishar party over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, while a Channel 13 poll shows a closer race. A Channel 14 poll, however, places Netanyahu's Likud significantly ahead, projecting a strong right-wing bloc.

- A Channel 13 poll shows Eisenkot's Yishar with 20 mandates and Netanyahu's Likud with 18.
- A Channel 14 poll projects Netanyahu's Likud leading with 30 mandates, while Yishar receives 19.

- Polls differ on bloc majorities, with one projecting 51 opposition mandates and another 62 for the right-wing bloc.
Recent opinion polls from Israel's Channel 12, Channel 13, and Channel 14 present significantly different projections for the country's political future. A Channel 12 poll indicates a lead for Gadi Eisenkot's Yishar party with 24 mandates, surpassing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, which received 21 mandates. Naftali Bennett's Together party followed with 14 mandates.
In contrast, a Channel 13 poll shows Eisenkot's Yishar with 20 mandates and Netanyahu's Likud with 18. Bennett's party maintained 14 mandates in this survey. The Channel 13 poll also projected the opposition bloc with 51 mandates versus the coalition's 50, with Arab parties holding 15.
A Channel 14 poll presented a starkly different outcome, placing Netanyahu's Likud in the lead with 30 mandates, while Eisenkot's Yishar garnered only 19. In this survey, the right-wing bloc was projected to secure 62 mandates, compared to the left-wing bloc's 45.
Several smaller parties and lists, including Shas, Yisrael Beiteinu, Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism, United Torah Judaism, and Ra'am, received varying mandate numbers across the polls, with most falling within the electoral threshold. Parties such as Ofer Winter's Am Israel, and Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha's Reservists and the Economic party, appeared below the threshold in some polls but received mandates in others.
