Five days before Israel's 26th Knesset elections, the final NEXT DATA poll for News 14 projects the right-wing bloc will win 62 seats, enough to form a government independently. The poll, conducted among 7,937 adults, shows the Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, remaining the largest party with 30 seats. Gadi Eisenkot's Yish party is projected to be the second-largest with 20 seats, while the "B" party strengthens to 11 seats.
Netanyahu also leads in suitability for prime minister, with 54% of respondents favoring him over Eisenkot's 32%. Naftali Bennett garnered 10% and Avigdor Lieberman 4% in this category. In a direct comparison between Netanyahu and Eisenkot, Netanyahu holds a 55% to 45% advantage.
Several smaller parties are shown struggling to cross the electoral threshold. The "Miluimnikim-Heklalit" party received 1.9% of the vote, and "Amcha Israel" received 1.5%. Other parties like Noam Israel, Hacharedi Hatziburi, and Achi are projected to receive less than 1% of the vote and will not enter the Knesset.
The poll indicates the left-wing bloc will secure 44 seats, and Arab parties will collectively win 14 seats. The right-wing bloc's projected 62 seats give them a two-seat majority above the 61 needed to form a government, continuing a trend seen in recent polls. The final results will be known when polls close on election day, Tuesday, October 27th.
