Polls published ahead of Israel’s upcoming election suggest Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc is losing its majority advantage. One poll reports Netanyahu’s alliance at 48 seats while the opposition is on track for 54, indicating the opposition is ahead as the vote approaches.
The reports also present related polling findings on leadership and governance. One source says opposition leader Gantz Eisenkot is ahead of Netanyahu in voting preferences and that a majority of respondents—60%—support forming a unity government. Another outlet frames the same election contest around whether Netanyahu’s far-right coalition can retain power, citing a poll of 4,000 Israelis that indicates it is unlikely the bloc will keep a majority.
Across the coverage, the common theme is an apparent shift toward the opposition in seat projections, with differing emphasis on preferred leadership, coalition composition, and broader attitudes about unity versus partisan control.
