YouTube is flooded with election videos from the parties competing for entry into the 20th Knesset. The Knesset Channel commissioned Panels Politics to poll the public to determine if they view the videos. Some respondents explain they only view the videos shown on TV, not on YouTube.

58%: We view the videos

42%: We don’t view the videos

Do the videos influence your regarding the party you will vote for?

83%: The videos do not influence me to the best of my knowledge.

17%: The videos do influence me.

Which party has done the best job with its election videos?

Likud: 22%

Labor/The Movement: 7%

Bayit Yehudi: 7%

Yesh Atid: 6%

Shas: 4%

Meretz: 2%

Yachad: 1%

Arab Bloc: 1%

Yisrael Beitenu: 0%

Perhaps the most impressive number for the above is the 49% that does not know which party’s videos are best.
