A new Channel 14 poll broadcast Thursday evening shows the continued strengthening of Likud and Gadi Eisenkot alongside another weakening for Naftali Bennett. According to the latest data collected by Shlomo Filber and NEXT DATA, Likud rises to 33 seats—up one mandate from last week’s poll, which gave it 32 seats.
Eisenkot’s Yashar party holds steady at 16 seats, cementing its position as the leading opposition alternative after overtaking Bennett for the first time in the previous poll. Bennett’s Yachad continues losing altitude, dropping to 13 seats—one fewer than last week.
In the overall mandate map, Shas holds at 10 seats, while Otzma Yehudit falls to 8 mandates after jumping to 9 in the previous poll. The Democrats (9), Yisrael Beiteinu (8), and United Torah Judaism (7) remain completely stable compared to last week’s numbers. Hadash-Ta’al holds 6 seats, Ra’am 5—and so does Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism.
The right-wing bloc maintains its crushing majority of 63 seats, while the left bloc weakens by one seat to 46 mandates, down from 47 in the previous poll. The Arab parties rise to 11 seats combined, while Blue and White continues its collapse below the electoral threshold with just 0.8% support, after hovering at 1.3% last week.
On the question of suitability for prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu widens the gap and reaches 49%—up one percentage point from the last poll. Eisenkot registers significant strengthening on the suitability question, climbing to 29%—another jump after already rising to 26% last week.
Bennett, meanwhile, suffers a significant setback and drops to just 14% suitability, a sharp fall from the 18% measured in the previous poll. Avigdor Lieberman and Benny Gantz remain stable at the bottom of the list with 7% and 1% respectively, similar to last week’s numbers.
The poll was conducted by NEXT DATA with 771 adults from the general population on June 11, 2026. Data analysis: Shlomo Filber.
