Mandate poll: Earthquake in the right-wing bloc - Winter burns Smotrich

A Channel 12 poll reveals a dramatic shift in the political map: Ofer Winter's party surpasses Religious Zionism and changes the balance of power in the right-wing bloc. Gadi Eisenkot leads with 24 seats and holds an advantage over Netanyahu in suitability for prime minister.

A Channel 12 poll published on the Maariv channel indicates a significant change in the Israeli political map. Ofer Winter's party, which has not yet entered the Knesset, surpasses Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism and changes the balance of power in the right-wing bloc. The poll gives Gadi Eisenkot 24 seats and an advantage over Benjamin Netanyahu in suitability for prime minister. The bloc map shows 50 seats for the coalition, 59 for the opposition, and 11 for the Arab parties. In a scenario where Winter passes the electoral threshold, the coalition drops to 49 seats and the opposition rises to 60. On the question of suitability for prime minister, Eisenkot receives 44% compared to 34% for Netanyahu. The poll reflects a political earthquake in the right-wing bloc, as Winter burns Smotrich and threatens the stability of the coalition.
