KnessetJeremy Polling Average – The Israeli Poll of Polls KnessetJeremy Polling Average – The Israeli Poll of Polls

The Knesset parties have agreed in principle to call for an early election on April 9th 2019. That is 106 days from today. The Knesset could have chosen two earlier dates for the 21st Knesset elections (March 26, April 2) but instead will go to the ballot box just 10 days before Passover. Instead of voting on early elections today, the voting required to hold early elections was pushed off to Wednesday December 26th 2018. Israel will have a 15 week election season. The last election cycle was also a 15 week cycle. A key date to remember is Thursday Feb 21 2019 – the date when the final Knesset lists of each party are submitted.

This will be the fourth election-cycle KnessetJeremy will be tracking the polling, providing weekly averages and presenting key analysis to help others better understand Israeli public opinion.

Notes: The KnessetJeremy Polling Average tracks the most recent polling numbers. This page is updated as new polls are added to the site and the KnessetJeremy poll database.

This current average will be the last average that will not take Benny Gantz’s new party into account. Starting with next week’s weekly average Gantz’s party will be added.
