Media polls released Thursday by Channel 13 News and Kan 11 News predicted that were elections held at this time, Likud would see a dip in power, Yamina's power would grow, and Blue and White's political standing would considerably slip.
Channel 13 News projected Likud would win 30 seats, followed by Yamina (19), Yesh Atid-Telem (17), the Joint Arab List (16), Blue and White (12), Shas (9), United Torah Judaism (8), Yisrael Beytenu (7), and Meretz with six seats.

First the first time since its inception in the 1960s, Labor is likely to fall below the 4-seat electoral threshold, which will exclude it from parliament. According to the poll, the Derech Eretz, Gesher, and Habayit Hayehudi parties also fail to enter parliament, as does the far-right Otzma Yehudit party.
Channel 13 News further predicted that the right-wing bloc would secure a narrow, 63-MK majority, and the Center-Left bloc, together with the Joint Arab List, would be 49-MK strong.
Kan 11 News came to similar results, saying that Likud would win 30 seats, followed by Yesh Atid-Telem (17), the Joint Arab List (16), Yamina (15), Blue and White (12), Shas (9), United Torah Judaism (8), Yisrael Beytenu (7), and Meretz with six seats.
Here, too, the Labor, Derech Eretz, Gesher, Habayit Hayehudi, and Otzma Yehudit parties fail to make the 4-seat electoral threshold.
Kan's survey gave the right-wing bloc a 63-MK majority, and the Center-Left bloc, together with the Joint Arab List, 51 seats, leaving Yisrael Beytenu as undecided.
