1. Israeli polls are unreliable, since among other reasons their margin of error is the difference between no seats and many seats (most polls have a margin of error of plus or minus several percent), and Israeli polls have trouble counting hareidim and Sefardim.
2. Results suggest the current status quo, Likud can from a coaltion with either hareidim and/or left-center parties, and might need both.
3. Note that the voters of Yahadut ha-Torah appear most satisfied with their party (but then again, it would be loshon hora to tell the people conducting the poll anything else)
Most polls show yishai won’t pass the threshold but polls in Israel doesn’t mean much
