Optimism in Likud: Winter expands the bloc - and these are the parties that are harmed

Senior Likud officials express optimism following the appearance of Ofer Winter above the electoral threshold in polls, which expands the right-wing bloc. The latest Maariv poll shows that Winter primarily harms the Yashar and Yisrael Beitenu parties, which hoped to receive his votes if he fails to pass the threshold. In the Change bloc, they admit that no significant shift of voters from the right has yet occurred, and the battle for the undecided continues.

In Likud, there is optimism regarding the Maariv poll data, according to which Ofer Winter's party passes the electoral threshold and expands the right-wing bloc. The poll shows that Winter primarily harms the Yashar and Yisrael Beitenu parties, which hoped to receive his votes if he did not pass. In the Change bloc, they admit that no significant shift of voters from the right to their camp has yet occurred, and the battle for the undecided continues. In the Yashar party, they estimate that if the understanding among Winter's voters solidifies that he is not passing the threshold, between half a mandate and 0.7 mandates of his supporters may move to Eisenkot. In the Change bloc, they have for now postponed the question of the candidate for prime minister to the day after the elections, and are trying to return the discussion to the numbers. According to senior bloc officials, the situation has remained stuck for about a month, and if a significant shift occurs, it will come in the final weeks of the campaign.
