Who right-wing voters see as opposition prime minister

A Maariv poll shows that among right-wing voters, Gadi Eisenkot leads with 13%, ahead of Lieberman (12%) and Bennett (5%), but 63% support none of the candidates. Eisenkot is trying to attract right-wing voters, while Netanyahu uses the coalition with RAAM as a theme.

A poll conducted by the Lazar Research institute under the direction of Dr. Menachem Lazar together with Panel4ALL for Maariv revealed the preferences of right-wing voters regarding an opposition candidate for prime minister. Among Gadi Eisenkot, Avigdor Lieberman, and Naftali Bennett, Eisenkot took first place with 13% support among coalition supporters. Lieberman received 12%, Bennett 5%. However, the key result: 63% of respondents said that none of the three is suitable for the post of prime minister, and another 7% found it difficult to answer. Thus, the absolute majority of voters in the coalition camp do not see in these politicians an alternative to the current government. Maariv political commentator Mati Tuchfeld notes that Eisenkot is focused on attracting right-wing votes rather than traditional center and left voters. His calculation relies on residents of the north, including Dovev and Dalton, as well as moshavim in the center of the country. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aware of the threat, uses the theme of a possible coalition of Eisenkot with the RAAM party led by Mansour Abbas to retain the right-wing electorate. Eisenkot himself does not rule out cooperation with RAAM. The poll revealed a contradiction: Eisenkot is the strongest candidate among the three, but 87% of coalition camp voters do not choose him. Eisenkot's task is to convince a significant part of the right-wing, who currently do not see any of the candidates as a natural alternative.
