A new Channel 14 poll conducted by NEXT DATA and released Tuesday evening shows stability in the overall bloc map, alongside shifts in seat distribution among individual parties. The right-wing bloc holds at 64 seats, the left-wing bloc remains at 44 seats, and the Arab parties together receive 12 seats—unchanged from last week’s poll.
1+Likud continues to lead as the largest party but weakens by one seat, dropping from 31 to 30. Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party also falls by one seat, from 22 to 21. Shas maintains its strength with 10 seats, while the Democrats strengthen from 8 to 9. Religious Zionism-Zehut and Otzma Yehudit each hold steady at 8 seats.
Naftali Bennett’s Yachad strengthens from 7 to 8 seats, as does United Torah Judaism, which rises from 7 to 8. In contrast, Yisrael Beiteinu weakens from 7 to 6. Among the Arab parties, an internal shift occurs that doesn’t change their overall strength: Hadash-Ta’al-Balad rises from 6 to 7 seats, while Ra’am drops from 6 to 5.
1+A strengthening trend is recorded specifically among parties that remain below the electoral threshold. Amcha Yisrael, led by Ofer Winter, rises from 2.1% to 2.3%, and Reservists/Economic strengthens more significantly—from 1.4% to 2.1%. Blue and White rises from 0.2% to 0.4%, Noam from 0.1% to 0.3%, and The Haredi Public from 0.1% to 0.2%.
On the question of suitability for prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu continues to lead with 51%, unchanged from last week’s poll. Gadi Eisenkot strengthens by one point to 35%, compared to 34% in the previous poll. Naftali Bennett weakens from 11% to 9%, while Avigdor Lieberman strengthens from 4% to 5%.
In a head-to-head matchup between Netanyahu and Eisenkot, there’s also no change: Netanyahu leads with 53% compared to 47% for Eisenkot. The bottom line—despite the shifts among parties, the bloc map remains completely stable: 64 seats for the right-wing bloc, 44 for the left-wing bloc, and 12 for the Arab parties.
The poll was conducted by NEXT DATA with participation from 483 adults from the general population on September 15, 2026. Data analysis: Shlomo Filber.
