Ofer Winter falls below the electoral threshold, Hendl and Zalicha are stable | Mandate poll

A Kantar Institute mandate poll for 'Hayom' shows: Likud 21, Eisenkot 22, Bennett 13. Otzma Yehudit strengthens to 9 mandates thanks to a campaign claiming Netanyahu is distancing himself from it. Hendl and Zalicha are stable with 5 mandates, benefiting from differentiation on the cost of living issue. Winter remains below the electoral threshold, but his party identifies a recovery. A majority of voters in both blocs prefer new elections over a unity government.

A Kantar Institute mandate poll for 'Hayom' returns the parties to data similar to last week, after erasing the fluctuations of the past week. Likud receives 21 mandates, Eisenkot 22, and Bennett 13. The Democrats weaken to 8, Yisrael Beiteinu with 8, Religious Zionism with 6, and Otzma Yehudit climbs to 9. Shas with 7, United Torah Judaism with 8, Hadash-Ta'al with 8, and Ra'am with 5. Ben Gvir's campaign, claiming Netanyahu is distancing himself from him towards a government with Eisenkot, is effective and strengthens by a mandate. Hendl and Zalicha are stable with 5 mandates, benefiting from clear differentiation on the cost of living issue, which is the most important issue for 29% of Israelis. Winter remains below the electoral threshold, but his party identifies a recovery after a week of attacks. A majority of voters in both blocs (54% coalition, 47% opposition) prefer new elections over a unity government. The poll notes that the issues of the investigative committee and the conscription law are ranked very low in importance for the public.
