A Kan 11 poll shows Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar! leading with 23 mandates, while Ofer Winter's party fails to cross the electoral threshold ahead of the 2026 elections.
A new poll published by Kan 11 shows a significant shift in Israel's political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections. For the first time since Ofer Winter announced the creation of his party, it has failed to cross the electoral threshold.
According to the survey conducted by Kantar for Kan News, Gadi Eisenkot's party Yashar! remains the largest with 23 mandates. Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party receives 21 mandates, while Naftali Bennett's BeYachad strengthens by one mandate to reach 12.
With Ofer Winter's party falling below the threshold, the bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot stands at 52 mandates compared to 51 for Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc. Arab parties together receive 13 mandates, while the joint list of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelecha wins four mandates.
The poll also shows that Otzma Yehudit, Shas, and United Torah Judaism each strengthen by one mandate, securing eight mandates each. The Democrats weaken by one mandate, also standing at eight. Yisrael Beytenu wins nine mandates, and Religious Zionism alongside Zehut secures six.
