If elections were held today, Likud would be the largest party with 26 seats, according to a Geocartography poll sponsored by i24 News. This is markedly higher than the 21-23 MKs predicted for Likud in recent polls.
The Herzog-Livni camp would receive 21 seats, according to the poll, and Naftali Bennett’s Jewish Home would be third with 13.
Yesh Atid and the United Arab Party follow with 12 each, and Moshe Kahlon’s Kulanu has eight MKs, as do the haredi UTJ and Shas parties.
Yisrael Beytenu has 7 MKs, Meretz receives 5 and Eli Yishai’s Yachad does not pass the threshold at all.
The poll also asked how Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s Congress speech affected the degree to which they would like him to continue as prime minister. Thirty-seven percent said that they wanted him as prime minister before the speech and continue to want him now, while 33% said they did not want him as prime minister and still do not want him. Three percent said they did not want him as prime minister before the speech and want him more as prime minister after it, while 8% said they originally wanted him for prime minister but changed their mind after the speech.
