A new Maariv poll shows Likud falling to 22 Knesset seats, a drop of three mandates from the previous survey. The results were published Friday morning by the Hebrew daily.
A poll published Friday morning by Maariv shows Likud falling to 22 Knesset seats, a drop of three mandates compared to the previous survey by the same outlet. The decline comes after weeks during which Likud had been trending upward in several polls — a Channel 12 poll earlier this week had Likud at 22 seats as well, while a separate survey by i24 last month had the party at 30. The right-wing bloc's overall strength in the Maariv poll is not specified in the brief report. The survey's full methodology, sample size, and field dates were not included in the published item. As The Zioneer has reported, recent weeks had seen wide swings across polls: Bennett briefly surged to a tie with Likud in Channel 12 data before slipping, while the right-wing bloc was shown losing ground in snap polls after the June 8 hostage rescue. The new Maariv figure places Likud at the same level as the Channel 12 poll earlier this week but below the i24 high.
