Channel 12 commentator Yaron Abraham sharply criticized Channel 14's election poll, calling it "wild guessing" akin to a "Toto ticket." This came after most television polls, including Channel 12's, significantly misjudged the election results, with the exception of i24NEWS pollster Tzuriel Sharon, who was deemed the most accurate.
While most polls underestimated the "Netanyahu bloc," Channel 14's poll overestimated it, predicting 60 mandates for the bloc. Abraham accused Channel 14 of "celebrating a ridiculous victory" and "engineering public consciousness" instead of analyzing their statistical and substantive errors.
Abraham acknowledged that Channel 12's poll also erred by overestimating the "change bloc" and underestimating the "Netanyahu bloc." However, he contrasted their updated results, which brought Netanyahu closer to the actual outcome, with Channel 14's prediction of 62 mandates for Netanyahu, and their subsequent claim of being "a hair's breadth from forming a full right-wing coalition."
Polls from Channels 11, 12, and 13 had predicted the Netanyahu bloc would receive 50 mandates, two or three fewer than the change bloc. However, actual results indicate the Netanyahu bloc secured a majority with 53 mandates, five more than the change bloc.
