The poll shows that (1), Likud leads in all circumstances as well as (2), with the entry of Benny Gantz into the political arena, the Machane Tzioni party, which is the former Labor party, suffers significantly. It also shows that the ashkenazi chareidi party, Yahadut Hatorah, has a loyal voter base, as it emerges consistently with seven seats.
