New Polls Show Eisenkot Bloc Leading Netanyahu, Short of Majority Without Arab Parties
Summarized from Haaretz English by baba
Two new polls suggest Gadi Eisenkot's bloc would win more Knesset seats than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc in an upcoming election. Channel 13 projected 51 seats for Eisenkot's bloc and 50 for Netanyahu's, while Channel 12 showed 55 for Eisenkot's and 51 for Netanyahu's. Both surveys indicated that Netanyahu's opponents would hold a majority, but not a 60-seat coalition majority without Arab parties. The polls detailed seat projections for various parties, with several failing to cross the electoral threshold.
