Senior Pollster Says It's Too Early to Write Off Israel's Yesodot Party
Shmuel Rosner, a leading pollster for Channel 13 News, addressed the recent poll results showing the Yesodot Israel party, led by Yoaz Hendel and Hili Tropper, falling below the electoral threshold. Speaking on Wednesday evening, Rosner cautioned against premature conclusions, noting that the party was only announced the day before the poll was conducted. He emphasized that the true test for Yesodot Israel will come in the following weeks.
The same poll revealed a significant shift in Israel's political landscape, with Gadi Eisenkot surpassing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, resulting in Likud no longer being the largest party. This dramatic change highlights the evolving dynamics ahead of upcoming elections.
Rosner's comments suggest that while initial polling data may appear discouraging for new parties like Yesodot Israel, the political situation remains fluid and further developments will provide a clearer picture of voter intentions.
