Panels conducted a poll that was broadcast by Knesset Channel 99 on Jan 9 2014.
Current Knesset seats in [brackets]
34 [31] Likud Beitenu
17 [15] Labor
14 [12] Bayit Yehudi
13 [19] Yesh Atid
10 [06] Meretz
09 [11] Shas
07 [07] Yahadut Hatorah/UTJ

56 [59] Center-Left-Arab
Knesset Jeremy Analysis: Likud Beitenu remains stable, as does Labor. Bayit Yehudi and Yesh Atid continue to battle over third and fourth place. Meretz has been dropping recently, losing supporters who are returning to Yesh Aid.
Additional Questions:

Not fair 53%, Fair 34%
Based on what you know, should Israel accept the American offer for an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians?
Don’t accept 48%, Don’t know 30%, Accept 22%
Do you support the African asylum seekers protest?

What policy should Israel take in dealing with African citizens living in Israel illegally?

would be nice to see this poll with 3.25% threshold.
if the 3.25% threshold is passed we will see it in all the polls 🙂
Consistent – but we know how reliable the polls were last time.
Did you see the poll where people where asked about attitudes to the US? Most positive – Israel. Most negative – PA. All while the US continues tot wist the knife in Israel.
The polls were pretty reliable last time. The problem is we were not allowed to publish the polls in the last 5 days before the election by Israeli law. I saw the trend of Yesh Atid growing in the last few days, I just couldn’t tell anyone about it…
Seems to make sense. 61 current right/religious votes+ Otzma (1.8 seats) + Am Shallem (1.2 seats) = 64. What I wonder is how they ask the poll question. What I mean is do they ask “What is your party preference?” and then let the person fill in the blank themselves. Or do they ask “Of the 12 parties with Knesset representation, whom do you prefer? Choose one of these 12 parties only.” Depending on how a pollster asks a question, it could affect the results.
With Panels they ask “Assuming Elections were today, which party would you vote for?” and they display a drop down list (it is an internet-based polling company).
