Religious Zionism Leads Among New Small Parties in C14 WhatsApp Poll

A recent poll conducted on the C14 WhatsApp channel examined voter support for several small Israeli political parties polling below five Knesset seats. As of 5 p.m. on Monday, the Religious Zionism party showed a significant lead in perceived chances of passing the electoral threshold, receiving 1,800 votes from participants when asked which small party might succeed. The next highest were "Courageous Israel" led by Yosef Hadad with 215 votes and Yaron Zelekha's Economic Party with 180 votes.

When asked if they would actually vote for any of these small parties, the responses were more divided: out of 1,623 respondents, 47.4% said no, 42.4% said yes, and 10.2% said maybe. This indicates that while nearly half currently reject voting for these parties, over 40% are willing to consider it.

In a separate question about actual voting intentions, 479 participants responded, with 63.5% choosing Religious Zionism. The Identity party came second with 10.6%, followed by the Economic Party at 9.6%. Other parties such as Yosef Hadad's, Noam LeIsrael, Beit Tzioni, Achi, Gilad Erdan's "Unity," the Haredi Public party, and Blue and White received smaller shares.

The poll, totaling about 4,500 votes, highlights a clear gap between Religious Zionism and other small parties in both perceived viability and voter intention. While the WhatsApp poll's reliability is less than that of professional survey institutes, it offers a grassroots snapshot ahead of the 2026 elections.
