A new poll conducted by 'Sheva' among voters who support the coalition parties reveals that Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir is the most popular minister among his base, with 72% of respondents expressing a desire for him to remain in his post. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich follows with 65%, and Foreign Minister Israel Katz with 59%. Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Education Minister Yoav Kisch trail at 45% each.
The survey, published Thursday evening, offers a snapshot of coalition voter sentiment amid ongoing political tensions. The Zioneer has covered several recent polls charting the political landscape, including a Ma'ariv survey showing the opposition bloc reaching 62 seats and a Kan 11 poll in which Gadi Eisenkot surged past Naftali Bennett. The coalition's stability has been a recurring theme, with Haredi parties' demands over conscription legislation creating friction.
The results underscore the strong standing of security-focused ministers within the coalition base, while highlighting the relatively weaker support for Levin and Kisch.
