  • Likud campaign insiders criticized pollster Shlomo Filber for inaccurate surveys.
  • Critics claim Filber's polls led to misguided campaign decisions.

  • The Likud party denied the allegations, calling them fake news.

Senior Likud party officials and campaign team members have sharply criticized the party's pollster, Shlomo Filber, who also serves as a pollster for Channel 14. During a meeting last week, participants argued that the surveys Filber provided to the campaign were inaccurate and did not reflect the reality on the ground. According to some attendees, these flawed polls led to misguided decisions within the campaign, including the choice to attack the Yisrael Beiteinu party. The Likud party has denied these claims, labeling them as "complete fake news."
