Israeli General Election polls, October 8, 2026.i24NEWS

If the Knesset elections were held today, Likud would receive 26 seats according to i24NEWS's latest poll this is a significant decrease of two seats compared to the last week's poll.

i24NEWS conducts polls in collaboration with 'Direct Polls' headed by Zuriel Sharon, who conducted a mandate poll to test the current distribution of Knesset seats.

The Yashar Party led by Eisenkot also recorded a decrease of two seats, receiving 20 seats.

The B'Yachad party led by Bennett registered a gain of two seats, apparently at Eisenkot's expense, receiving 11 seats. The Democrats party led by Yair Golan received 10 seats, an increase of one seat compared to last week.


Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party received 9 seats, marking an increase of one seat compared to last week, apparently at the expense of Likud.

United Torah Judaism maintained 8 seats, as does the Shas party, which held steady with 7 seats, and the Yisrael Beiteinu party, which also remained stable with 7 seats over recent weeks.

The Joint List also received 7 seats, marking a decrease of one seat from last week. Religious Zionism and Zehut strengthened by one seat, apparently at the expense of Likud, and received 6 seats. The Ra'am party maintained its strength and got 5 seats. Completing the list is Amcha Yisrael, led by Winter, which has remained stable in recent weeks with 4 seats.


By bloc, the coalition bloc received 60 seats, the opposition bloc received 48 seats, and the Arab parties received 12 seats. This represents a shift of one seat from the Arab parties to the change bloc compared to last week.

The sample was collected and compiled by Direct Polls Ltd., headed by Zuriel Sharon, for channel i24NEWS, on October 7, 2026, using a digital system combined with a panel, among 518 adult respondents (18+) constituting a representative sample of the general population in Israel. The statistical sampling error is ±4.3% with a 95% probability.
