There is an additional poll that was published this week that I will not include in my polling average for two reasons. First, it was conducted for one of the political parties. Second, the polling company that conducted the poll has not released a political poll since 2014. The company was the least accurate polling company in the 2009 and 2013 cycles according to the KnessetJeremy parameters.

Shvakim Panorama conducted a poll for Yisrael Beitenu that the party leaked to Ynet that published it on Dec 26 2017.
