A new Channel 12/N12 poll broadcast Monday evening shows opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot extending his lead over rival Naftali Bennett to five seats, while Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud party rises by one seat to 24 — returning Netanyahu to the lead in the personal suitability match-up, according to the survey by Amit Segal.
The latest Channel 12/N12 survey by Amit Segal, aired Monday evening, marks the continuation of a rapid realignment in the opposition. Gadi Eisenkot now leads Naftali Bennett by a five-seat margin, widening the gap from four seats in the previous N12 poll published just days earlier. Likud has risen to 24 seats, gaining one mandate, while Prime Minister Netanyahu has regained the lead in the personal suitability match-up for prime minister.
The results follow a string of polls showing Bennett's party in steady decline. As The Zioneer reported on June 25, an earlier N12 poll already showed Eisenkot widening his lead over Bennett, and a June 18 survey had Eisenkot overtaking Bennett entirely. The current drift appears to have accelerated: prediction-market data from mid-June had already priced Bennett's odds of becoming PM at just 15%, with Eisenkot at 36% and Netanyahu at 32%. All poll data remains single-source and reflects one specific survey snapshot.
