DRAMATIC POLL: Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition gets 63 seats

A new survey conducted by Direct Polls for Channel 14 and released tonight (Thursday) shows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party at a peak of 34 seats and with a majority of 63 seats for his coalition.

The poll also shows relatively poor numbers for Benny Gantz's State Camp (14), Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid (10), and Itamar Ben Gvir's Otzmah Yehudit (6).

If the election were held today, Likud would get 34 seats, State Camp 14, Democrats 12, Yisrael Beytenu 11, Shas 10, Yesh Atid 10, UTJ 8, Otzmah Yehudit 6, Religious Zionism 5, Ra'am 5, Hadash-Ta'al 5.

New Right and Balad would not pass the electoral threshold.

This would leave the Netanyahu coalition with 63 seats, the opposition minus Ra'am with 47 seats (52 with Ra'am), and 10 seats for the Arab parties.

Support for Netanyahu's fitness as Prime Minister is now at majority levels, with 52% supporting him against Gantz (who gets just 21%) and 53% against Lapid who gets just 22%. The remainder of respondents said they prefered neither.
