Would love to see the methodology. All other polls have the Arab List at no less than 12, this has it at 9. Personally, I suspect the final results will be a yuge repudiation of Deri, Livni, Liberman and the hard-liners associated with Bayit Yehudi (Smotrich, et. al) that led to the Bennett & Shaked departure. If these downward trends continue the key question becomes: where do voters abandoning the margins go? I don’t see religious Sefardi voters going to UTJ but I can see them going to Kulanu despite it being secular, especially since they trust Kahlon to join a ruling right of center coalition. I can see Liberman voters going to Gesher, Likud and the New Right…
As I’m writing this there is news Bibi is offering Kahlon a handful of slots on Likud list. Seismic shift…
I am not sure Shas are going to disappear as you seem to wish, for many of the smaller parties I think these polls are very suspect and I think we will see lots of ups and downs without a clear trend for quite a while. Shas i believe did quite well in the recent local elections. So you then need to ask why and where will these votes disappear too if indeed they do. I can see the shine going from both Bennett and Gantz as we get closer to election day and I don’t rate the Orly levy band wagon either , one or even two of the last three are in for a big disappointment in my view
This poll is a bit dodgy. The joint list only 9?. Netanyahu seems to have gained from Bennet’s move he is now forecasted to have more then double the seats of his nearest rivals. LIvni with 4 seems to have benefitted from Gabbai’s move. It is highly doubtful that she would have got more then 2 seats if she had stayed with Gabbai.
you are being polite, it looks very doggy,, but that probably applies to most of the polls who in my view cannot read many of the smaller parties correctly
