The majority of Israeli voters have made up their mind on who they will vote for in the March 23 elections, a new poll has found.

According to Channel 13 News, were elections held at this time, Likud would win 28 Knesset seats, followed by Yesh Atid (20), Yamina (11), New Hope (9), the Joint Arab List (8), Yisrael Beytenu (7), United Torah Judaism (7), Shas (6), the Religious Zionist Party (6), Labor (6), Meretz (4), Blue and White (4) and Ra'am (4).

The Economic party fails to cross the electoral threshold.

These results give the right-wing bloc 47 mandates and the Center-Left bloc 58. Yamina and Ra'am could join either bloc.

As Yamina leader Naftali Bennett has repeatedly pledged to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it remains unclear whether he would lend the right-wing bloc his support, especially as it would still leave it three-seats short of the 61-MK majority necessary to form a coalition.

The poll further found that Netanyahu's approval ratings were holding steady, as 35% of respondents said he was the most suited for the role of the prime minister.

Some 21% said Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid was best suited for the role of the prime minister, 12% chose New Hope leader Gideon Sa'ar, and 10% favored Bennett.

Should Netanyahu fail to form a government, 27% of the public would prefer to see Lapid become prime minister followed by Bennett (23%) and Sa'ar (19%). Eighteen percent of respondents said neither should be prime minister.

Channel 13 News further found that 62% of eligible Israeli voters have already made up their minds as to who they plan to vote for, while 38% said they "could change their minds" by election day, or were still undecided.

The poll included 707 eligible Israeli voters, 603 in the Jewish sector and 104 in the Arab sector and has a statistical margin of error of 3.6%.
