A poll conducted by the Kantar Institute for Kan 11 News indicates that a party led by Naftali Bennett would become the largest faction in the Knesset, securing 24 seats, while the Likud party would see a decline to 22 seats. In this scenario, the National Unity party would shrink to 10 seats, as would Yesh Atid, Yisrael Beytenu, and Shas. The Democrats would receive 9 seats, Otzma Yehudit 8, United Torah Judaism 7, Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am both 5 seats, and parties such as the Religious Zionist party, Balad, and New Hope would fail to pass the electoral threshold.
In terms of leadership suitability, Bennett outpaces Bibi Netanyahu, with 38% of respondents indicating that Bennett is the most suitable leader, compared to 35% who prefer Netanyahu to continue in the role. In a head-to-head comparison between Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, leader of the National Unity party, Netanyahu leads with 38% support, while Gantz receives 29%. Meanwhile, in a comparison with Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu garners 36% support, while Eisenkot receives 32%.
If the election were to include only the parties currently sitting in the Knesset, Likud would win 25 seats, while National Unity would secure 18, according to the poll. Yesh Atid and Yisrael Beytenu would each earn 14 seats, the Democrats 11, Shas 10, Otzma Yehudit 7, and United Torah Judaism 7. Hadash-Ta’al and Ra’am would each receive 5 seats, and the Religious Zionist party would win 4.
In terms of political blocs, the opposition would secure 62 seats, while the coalition bloc would gather 53 seats. A large portion of the public, 64%, believes the current government’s performance has been poor, with only 30% rating it positively.
When it comes to the issue of a universal draft, 68% of respondents expressed support for this measure, while 17% preferred maintaining the current system with exemptions for Haredim. The remaining 15% were undecided.
Regarding the performance of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, 38% of respondents believe she should be dismissed, while 41% oppose her dismissal, and 21% were unsure.
On the issue of the prosecution’s handling of Netanyahu’s investigation and trial, 33% of respondents stated they believe the prosecution is acting professionally, while 44% feel the prosecution is driven by political motivations. Another 23% were unsure.
A significant majority, 77%, expressed support for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the failures of October 7, while 9% opposed the commission, and 14% did not know.

We all know these are FAKE polls
Fake polls on purpose because most people don’t have the self-confidence to vote differently than ‘most people’ as per mainstream fake news. This is how they grab their voters. That’s how oilem goilem voted for Kamala. Tinfoil hatters are not afraid to go against the trend.
Bennett has already proven himself unready for top leadership. Why should this time around be different?
madness! bennet is a nobody – a failed politician.i don’t believe these polls. they are fake news like the ones predicting that harris would win the presidency.
Is Bennett running with Lapid, Lieberman or Sinwar?
All Bennet did was get the government – meaning the tax payer – to pay for his house renovations because his JAPpy wife “refused” to move into the PM mansion. He was PM for a short period and his renovations cost the taxpayers 10 million ₪. He didn’t really accomplish anything significant. Why give him another chance.
Israeli here: no one that I know of will consider Bennet a serious contender or individual.
