The rise in support for Noam L'Yisrael coincides with a significant decline in loyalty toward the major Haredi parties. According to the survey, support for these parties among the ultra-Orthodox public dropped from 76.3% in the previous election to 60.6%. Specifically, United Torah Judaism saw its support fall from 49.1% to 40.6%, while Shas declined from 27.1% to 20.0%.
The Rafi Smith Institute attributed this shift to a structural change rather than a temporary fluctuation, citing a decrease in traditional party loyalty and a search for value-based, ideological alternatives. Meanwhile, 19% of respondents remained undecided, representing a key demographic in the final two weeks of the campaign. Conversely, 60% of those polled stated they would definitely not vote for Noam L'Yisrael, and 16% said they probably would not.
MK Avi Maoz welcomed the results, stating they validate his party's focus on education, Torah, and protecting traditional families. Maoz declared that these numbers are just the beginning and called on undecided voters to join his party.
