Survey data from the Direct Polls Institute, published this evening (Thursday) in the main edition of Channel 14, shows that the right-wing bloc has a clear advantage over the left-wing bloc.
According to the survey, the state camp and Yesh Atid are lagging far behind, and Ben Gvir is strengthening his mandate.
The Likud party maintains its position as the largest party with 32 seats. The Democrats, led by Yair Golan, increase their mandate to 17 seats, as does Yisrael Beiteinu, which holds 16 seats.
The ultra-Orthodox parties did not move from their positions - Shas remains with 10 seats and United Torah Judaism with 8. Otzma Yehudit, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is strengthening and rising to 8 seats, while Religious Zionism, led by Smotrich, remains with 5.
The State Camp party loses two seats and only has 7, and Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, also receives 7, unchanged from the previous poll.
Ra'am and Hadash-Ta'al each receive 5 seats, and Balad does not pass the threshold with 2.61% of the votes.
Suitability for the Prime Ministership
On the question of suitability for prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu continues to lead clearly and is gaining ground with 49% support, while Yair Lapid receives only 22%. 29% of those surveyed responded that they do not consider either of them a suitable candidate.
In another poll, which pitted Netanyahu against Benny Gantz, the current prime minister maintains a significant advantage with 49% support, compared to only 16% for Gantz, a decrease of 2% from the previous poll. 35% of respondents claim that they do not see either of them as a suitable candidate for the position.
The political map: an advantage for the right
The survey data indicates that the right-wing bloc, which includes Likud, Shas, United Torah Judaism, Otzma Yehudit, and Religious Zionism, stands at 63 seats, which gives Netanyahu the ability to form a government independently of other parties, similar to the previous survey.
On the other hand, the Left Bloc, the Democrats, Yisrael Beiteinu, Yesh Atid, and the State Camp are content with 47 seats, which makes it very difficult to create a governing alternative.
The Arab parties - Ra'am and Hadash-Ta'al - with 10 seats.

The head of the Shin Bet should resign.
The survey also reveals that the majority of the public is in favor of Shin Bet head Ronen Bar terminating his position, following the submission of Shin Bet investigations into the October 7th failures on Tuesday.
According to the survey data, no less than 621% of the public support the removal of Shin Bet head Ronen Bar.
On the other hand, only 36% oppose the dismissal, and 2% do not express a position.
Complete the process of dismissing the attorney general
The dismissal of the Ombudsman has become one of the most sensitive issues in the political arena. The data shows that the issue creates a clear polarization between the blocs, with right-wing voters almost unanimous in their position, while among center-left voters there remains opposition to the impeachment process, which was initiated by Justice Minister Yariv Levin.
According to the survey, 52% of the public are in favor of completing the process of dismissing Gali Baharav from Yara. On the other hand, 47% are opposed, and 1% do not express a position on the matter.
When examining the data among right-wing voters, an even clearer picture emerges: 88% of right-wing voters believe that the government must complete the dismissal of the Ombudsman, and only 11% oppose it. 1% remained undecided.
