A new Channel 13 poll shows Prime Minister Netanyahu's party gaining one seat while Naftali Bennett's party drops a further two, continuing Bennett's sharp decline in recent weeks. Yisrael Beiteinu's Avigdor Liberman adds a mandate, and Smotrich's party also sees a rise, according to a survey broadcast Wednesday evening.
A new Channel 13 poll broadcast Wednesday evening shows the continuing erosion of Naftali Bennett's electoral standing: his party drops a further two mandates. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud gains one, Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beiteinu rises by one, and Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism also adds a seat.
The results track the most recent trend across Israeli surveys, in which Gadi Eisenkot's party — not measured in this particular poll — has surged while Bennett has sharply declined. The previous Channel 13 poll, published a week earlier, showed Eisenkot overtaking Bennett at 20 seats to 17. This new survey does not include Eisenkot's slate in its top-line breakdown.
Full seat counts and the opposition blocs' totals were not disclosed in the initial broadcast.
