Pollster and media personality Shlomo Filber has issued a stark warning regarding upcoming elections, accusing elements within the left-wing camp of orchestrating a campaign to manipulate poll results and deceive right-wing voters. In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Filber stated that left-wing groups are calling to "troll the polls and vote for Winter," describing this as a tactic to lure unsuspecting right-wing individuals into wasting their votes on a party that will ultimately fail to pass the electoral threshold. Filber included a screenshot from a WhatsApp group, which he claims originates from a "leftist group," showing a widely circulated message urging recipients to indicate they are voting for Winter in upcoming polls. According to Filber, this is a deliberate attempt to create a false impression that Ofer Winter's party is crossing the electoral threshold. The goal, he asserts, is to persuade right-wing voters to cast their ballots for this party on election day, potentially leading to the loss of valuable votes for the right-wing bloc if the party does not actually pass the threshold.
