Maariv pollster on the dramatic possibility of the elections: "That's 58 seats and that's already on the threshold"

A Maariv pollster analyzes the seat polls and determines that the Israeli public is "locked in" with no significant shifts between blocs. According to him, the addition of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha to the change bloc brings it to 58 seats, "on the threshold." The undecided, about 5%-6%, are undecided within blocs rather than between them, and the impact of campaigns is on voter turnout.

A Maariv pollster analyzes the seat polls ahead of the elections and determines that the Israeli public is "locked in" with no significant shifts between blocs. According to him, the undecided, estimated at about 5%-6%, are not torn between the Netanyahu bloc and the change bloc, but within the blocs themselves — between one party and another in the same bloc. The impact of campaigns, if any, will be on voter turnout rather than voter preferences. Regarding the possibility of a tie between the blocs, the pollster assesses that it is "quite far," but notes that the addition of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha to the change bloc brings it to 58 seats, "and that's already on the threshold." He adds that an unusual turnout on one side could tip the scales.
