According to the poll, Yair Lapid and his Yesh Atid party would gain four mandates from the 17 the party won in the last election. As a reminder, President Reuven Rivlin tasked Lapid with forming the next government after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to do so.
The Yamina party, according to the poll, projects to lose altitude from its current seven mandates and come perilously close to the electoral threshold with only five mandates. The remaining poll results were as follows: Shas (9), United Torah Judaism (7), Religious Zionism (7), Labor (6), Israel Beytenu (6), New Hope (6), Yamina (5), Joint Arab List (5), Meretz (4), Ra'am (4).
The poll was conducted by the Midgam Polling Institute and included a sample size of 550 Israel aged 18 and above, with a sampling error of +-3.1%.
A Channel 13 News poll, meanwhile, indicated that the Likud would lose ground if elections were held today.
According to the poll, Likud would receive just 29 mandates, while Benny Gantz's Blue and White party would increase its number of Knesset seats to 11. Yamina leader Naftali Bennett would also pick up one mandate from his current seven. Gideon Sa'ar's New Hope party would lose one seat from its current six, the poll showed.
The full Channel 13 poll results were as follows: Likud (29), Yesh Atid (22), Blue and White (11), Yamina (8), Joint Arab List (8), Otzmah Yehudit (8), Labor (7), Shas (7), United Torah Judaism (6), Israel Beytenu (5), New Hope (5), Meretz (4), Ra'am (0).
The poll was conducted for Channel 13 by Prof. Camil Fuchs and has a sampling error of +-3.8%.
Both polls were the first to be published in the wake of Operation Guardian of the Walls and countrywide riots in mixed Jewish-Arab cities.
