A new poll released by Walla indicates that no political bloc is currently projected to achieve the 61 seats necessary to form a government in the upcoming elections. The bloc supporting Benjamin Netanyahu has weakened to 48 seats, down from 49 in the previous survey, while opposition parties collectively hold 54 seats. A separate list comprising reservists and economic figures, led by Handel and Zalicha, is projected to win 4 seats. Arab parties together are expected to secure 14 seats, an increase of one seat compared to the prior poll.
The survey also examined voter certainty, revealing that only 23% of Naftali Bennett's supporters are "completely confident" in their choice. This figure is significantly lower than other parties, with 40% of Gadi Eisenkot's voters and 68% of Likud voters expressing complete confidence. Notably, voters for the Joint List showed the highest level of certainty at 81%, followed by Religious Zionism-Identity at 62% and Shas at 56%.
Overall, 45% of respondents are completely confident in their vote, with an additional 49% being "fairly confident." However, 5% are "not so confident," and 1% are "not at all confident." When divided by political camps, 54% of current coalition party voters are completely confident, compared to 35% of opposition voters. Despite these differences, a majority in both camps expressed at least "fairly confident" in their voting intentions.
