Knesset Jeremy Analysis: Likud Beitenu sees a small bump following Liberman acquittal. Labor stays similar to previous polls under new leadership in Herzog. Meretz jumps to third largest party for the first time I can remember with 13 seats. Bayit Yehudi is fourth. Yesh Atid and Shas remain in double digits.

Bottom line: The right-religious block remains in lead which would grant Netanyahu another term as PM.

Panels conducted a poll that was broadcasted by Knesset Channel 99 on Nov 4 2013.

Additionally, they asked Bayit Yehudi voters specific questions.

Knesset Jeremy Analysis:

The first poll following municipal elections: Likud Beitenu maintains their spot at the top of the polls. Labor continues to fail achieving a bump from their primary elections. Bayit Yehudi surprises with a tie for second place at 17 seats, their best showing in months. Yesh Atid and Meretz tie for 4th which is bad for Yesh Atid, yet good for Meretz. Shas maintains double digits despite key municipal losses. Kadima fails to pass 2% electoral threshold. Bottom Line: The “right-religious block” increases from 61 to 65.

Panels also conducted a poll of Shas voters:

Who should lead Shas? 56% Yishai 32% Deri
Following Jerusalem loss should Deri resign? 42% Yes 40% No
Has Deri become a burden on Shas? 42% Yes 28% No

Polled: 501 people.
Margin of error: 4.4%.

Knesset Jeremy Analysis:

Likud Beitenu maintains their spot at the top of the polls. Labor is not enjoying the bump it is used to during primary elections. Bayit Yehudi is steady. Meretz moves into the 4th spot. Yesh Atid decline continues and they drop to a tie for 5th. Shas remains steady with no bump or decline in the first poll following the passing of their spiritual leader. Kadima passes the current 2% threshold. Recent increase in terrorist attacks could be responsible for modest gain of the “right-religious block’ from 61 to 63.
