Note: 'Direct Polls' was the ONLY poll that even closely predicted the actual results in the last elections. The rest all projected a loss for the Netanyahu bloc.
This poll, like many others, takes into account a new party, led by former PM Naftali Bennet.

The i24NEWS survey published this evening (Thursday, June 26) was conducted by the Direct Polls Research Institute headed by Zuriel Sharon, using a digital system combined with a panel, among 513 adult respondents (18+) who constitute a representative sample of the general population in Israel. The statistical sampling error is ±4.4% with a probability of 95%.
NEWSRAEL: Many voters who "left" Netanyahu since the last elections and the war, are returning in droves, and this is a trend likely to continue. While Bennet, who did not shine as past prime minister is seen on the Left as "the Great White Hope", is trending lower, and his projected seats are gouging out seats from the other opposition parties - something that will bring him under attack by these parties.
In short - Netanyahu is celebrating this poll and he is probably the only political leader in Israel that has reason to do so.
