A poll conducted among the ultra-Orthodox public by Kikar HaShabbat reveals a strong preference for traditional Haredi parties. The findings indicate that approximately 80% of the ultra-Orthodox sector votes for the two established Haredi parties, with United Torah Judaism leading significantly.
According to the survey data, United Torah Judaism garnered 48% of the vote within the sector, followed by Shas with 32%. Other parties received smaller percentages: the Haredi Public (7%), Otzma Yehudit (5%), Religious Zionism (2%), Black Flag (2%), Likud (1%), Noam for Israel (1%), and Change Bloc parties (2%).
The poll suggests a minimal "leakage" of votes to parties outside the traditional Haredi bloc, with only a few percent going to the Change Bloc. Support for non-Haredi right-wing parties remained relatively low.
