A new election poll shows if Knesset elections were held today, Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party would be the largest in Knesset. The poll was released by Channel 10 News. It was conducted by the Status-Net Institute headed by Dr. Camil Fuchs.
Yesh Atid would receive 27 seats while Likud would be in second place with 23. Naftali Bennet and his Bayit Yehudi party would be in third place with 12 seats followed by the Arab Bloc with 12, Yisrael Beitenu with 10, Machane Tzioni (8), Shas (8), Kulanu (7), Yahadut Hatorah (7), and Meretz (6).
This would give the right-wing 67 seats and the left-wing 53.
The poll also asked who one would vote for to serve as prime minister. 27% responded Netanyahu, 15% Lapid, 9% Lieberman, 7% Bennet and 5% Herzog of Machane Tzioni. In last place if former PM Ehud Barak with only 4%.

Remember how Hillary smiled with the release of her daily polls? By now most people have learned what MSMFN polls are all about. Will Lapid and his followers be sore losers like Hillary, Obama who are still sulking?
For the 67 to 53 who’s on the right and who’s on the left?
Didn’t anyone learn from last Israeli election, Brexit, US election..? Polls don’t mean anything
