A new poll conducted by Direct Polls for Channel 14 and released today (Thursday) shows Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud getting 28 seats, the highest such result in any poll since the beginning of the war.
Meanwhile, Avigdor Liberman's party would get 13 seats, bypassing Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid, who would get only 12. Benny Gantz's State Camp would get just 16 seats.
Yair Golan's Democrats would get 11 seats, Aryeh Deri's Shas 10 seats, Itamar Ben Gvir's Otzmah Yehudit 8 seats, UTJ 8 seats, Ra'am 6 seats, and Religious Zionism and Hadash-Ta'al 4 seats each.
Balad and New Right would not pass the electoral threshold.
In terms of blocs, Netanyahu's bloc would get 58 seats, the opposition bloc would get 52, with the Arab parties getting 10 (there is some question as to whether Ra'am is still considered a viable coalition partner for the latter bloc).
Netanyahu is considered to be more fit to be Prime Minister than Benny Gantz by 48-28 with 24% thinking neither are fit. The current Prime Minister is also considered more fit to be Prime Minister than current Opposition Leader Yair Lapid 49-30, with 21% considering both unfit.
