Another 11 seats were projected for Blue and White.

The poll predicted eight seats each for ulra-Orthodox parties Shas and United Torah Judaism, and seven seats for Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beytenu.

Left-wing party Meretz would win six seats if an election were held now, the poll showed.

In terms of blocs, the poll indicated 66 seats for a right-wing bloc and 54 for a left-wing bloc that included Yisrael Beytenu.

Four parties – Labor, Derech Eretz, Habayit Hayehudi, and Gesher – would not make it past the 3.25% minimum electoral threshold, the poll showed.
