How to read this

The average is the plain mean of each outlet's latest complete poll from the last 10 days. It is not a forecast, and the polls disagree: each list's bar is its average, and the thin line runs from the fewest to the most seats any of those polls gave it.

A list needs 3.25% of the vote to enter the Knesset, which comes to at least four seats. A poll that puts a list under the threshold counts it as zero, so an average can fall between one and three seats, which no list can actually win.

The bloc bar runs left to right the way the camps are usually drawn: the Arab parties, the opposition bloc, lists outside both camps, Netanyahu's bloc. The line in the middle is the majority: a camp whose seats cross it holds at least 61 of the 120. Outlets group some lists differently, so each poll also shows the outlet's own count in its own words.

A poll whose report gave only some lists is listed but left out of the average. On election night the exit polls are each broadcaster's own estimate, shown side by side. Seats are shown as results only once the Central Elections Committee publishes its final count.
