The polls are starting to show a shift towards the right. The right
wing/Religious bloc would get 71 project Knesset seats, and the left-center only 49, according to a Reshet Bet poll conducted by Sarid Institute.
The Likud Beitenu maintains its lead as the largest party with
34 or 35 seat. It appears said
that some of the substantial number of undecided voters on the right are
making up their minds and that most of them are going to
vote Likud, the pollster found.
The poll shows Labor strengthening to 19 seats, Tzipi Livni's Hatnu'a
and Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid with seven and nine seats respectively. .There is still a significant undecided vote floating between Labor,
Hatnua, Yesh Atid, and Kadima, and it appears that many of those votes
are going to go to the “brand” they know, Shelly Yechimovich's Labor
Party, the pollster said.
Naftali Bennett's Bayit Yehudi was also stabilizing with 14 seats, Shas is now down
to nine seats, while United Torah Judaism, polling at seven seats. The poll also
shows Amnon Yitzchak's Koach Lehashpia party getting four seats. Otzma
L'Yisrael, the party of Michael Ben-Ari and Aryeh Eldad, as well as
Shaul Mofaz's Kadima, are on the edge of not having enough support to
receive the minimum two mandates needed to qualify for a party to
achieve Knesset representation.
