Polls: Netanyahu doesn't have 61 seats without Gideon Sa'ar, Benny Gantz is collapsing

December 9, 2020   

A day after leaving the Likud:  From a survey by the Midgam Institute published inNews 12 It appears that the main victims of Gideon Sa'ar's move are Yamina Chairman Naftali Bennett and Opposition Chairman Yair Lapid. Likud is also weakened following his departure, while Benny Gantz is almost wiped out. What is a “shared car price list”? How will the prices be displayed in the price list? All the details According to the survey, if the elections were held today, the Likud would win 26 seats, with Yamina remaining the second-largest party with 18 seats. Saar comes in third with 16 seats. Yesh Atid-Telem, the fourth-largest party, with only 15 seats. The Joint List continues to weaken due to internal struggles to 11 seats. Shas and United Torah Judaism each win 8 seats, followed by Blue and White, Yisrael Beiteinu and Meretz, which each receive only 6 seats. Labor, led by Amir Peretz, Jewish Home, led by Rafi Peretz, and the Gesher Party do not pass the threshold. If these are the election results, they will allow a change of government if the Yamina party, Saar's party, Yesh Atid-Telem, Blue and White and Yisrael Beiteinu form a coalition of 61 seats, without Netanyahu and the Haredim. This poll should greatly worry Benny Gantz and worry Netanyahu no less, and there are still no contacts between the two. It is in the interest of both of them to dry Saar and Bennett out, but at the moment there are no negotiations between them. How will the joining of Eisenkot and Shasha-Biton affect them? In the event that former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and Likud Knesset MK Yifat Shasha-Biton join Saar in his new party, the party will win 22 seats. Likud is not significantly affected by the joining of the two and still remains with 26 seats. The main victims of such a move will be Yamina and Naftali Bennett, who will drop to 16 seats, and Lapid, who will drop with Yesh Atid to 13. Only seats. The Joint List remains with 11 seats, Shas and United Torah Judaism with 8 seats each, Meretz with 6 seats. Blue and White and Yisrael Beytenu are approaching the dangerous zone with only 5 seats. How will a Sa'ar and Bennett team up affect it? In such a case, one list of the Yamina party and Gideon Sa'ar's party wins 32 seats, while the Likud remains with the same 26 seats. A significant gap behind it is Yesh Atid, along with Ron Huldai, with 15 seats. Shas and United Torah Judaism remain with the same numbers - 8, Blue and White and Meretz rise to 7 seats, Yisrael Beytenu with 6 seats. Respondents to the survey were also asked who they thought was most deserving of serving as prime minister. The leader in the poll is Netanyahu with 29%, followed by Saar with 16%, Bennett with 13%, Lapid with 10% and Gantz, the alternate prime minister with only 5%. When focusing on the segmentation of right-wing voters only, Netanyahu rises to 43% of voters who think he is most deserving of serving as prime minister, followed by Saar with 16%, Bennett rises to 21%. According to left-wing voters, 22% think Lapid is deserving of serving as prime minister, Gantz gets 13%, Saar gets 18%.

Becomes the fourth largest

The right-wing party led by Gideon Sa'ar, who announced yesterday his withdrawal from the Likud, receives 18 mandates. If former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and Yifat Shasha-Biton join Saar, after Zvika Hauser and Yoaz Hendel have already announced that they will join him, the strength of Saar's party would even increase to 21 seats according to the poll, and Likud would drop to 23.
