Polls Show Eisenkot Leading Netanyahu, Key Parties May Miss Threshold
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Two recent polls show Gadi Eisenkot's party leading Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, with neither bloc projected to win a clear majority. The key factor in determining the balance of power could be whether Ofer Winter's People of Israel party and Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha's Reservists-Economic party cross the 3.25% electoral threshold. Poll results for these two parties varied, with one poll showing both crossing, another showing only one crossing. Pollster Shmuel Rosner stated that the failure of one or both parties to cross the threshold could significantly impact the "change bloc's" advantage.
