Initial Exit Poll Results
By Shalom Bear
We could see the Likud or the Zionist Union ending up as junior partners in a future coalition.
The difference is significant enough in this poll, that the Left can finally form a coalition.
Unless Bayit Yehudi builds up seats, a National Unity government is looking like a strong possibility.
Eli Yishai is starting to surge upward.
The anti-Bibi barrage last week cost him a grand total of two seats, which went to other parties but not to Bujie and Tzipi.
The Left-Right division remains almost the same, but a National Unity government is also feasible.
The survey also revealed that 52 percent of the respondents have an unfavorable view of the president.
The ISIS leads the list of critical threats. The Arab-Israeli conflict is in sixth place.
The parties keep trading seats back and forth, but the right-left blocks remain the same.

Trending: Likud is slowly pulling ahead of the oxymoron "Zionist Movement Party" led by Herzog&Livni
The trend in the polls is clear - the next government will not be muscled by the left.
The younger generation is decidedly left-wing and right-wing.
The latest polls put Likud back on top, but its being able to form a coalition is less clear cut.
Voters apparently like the Likud’s more centrist list of candidates. Lieberman hurt by bribe scandal. Shas survives.
The surprising results are a strong warning to Bennett and Netanyahu that the right wing is not in their pockets.

The only non-coalition partner that gained popularity in the latest Knesset Channel poll was Meretz.
A poll by the Knesset Channel released on Thursday confirms the trend of increased popularity for the Jewish Home party, headed by Naftali Bennett, and lesser support for Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party. Unlike recent polls, strength in the Likud-Beiteinu party dropped a bit. Labor and Meretz gained backing at the expense of Yesh Atid, […]

Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party would win 14 Knesset seats if elections were held today, compared with 11 in a poll in November, according to the Hebrew-language Walla! website.

The most glaring omission by Sherwood is her broader failure, in this or other reports alleging Israeli racism, to provide similar data indicating the political views of Palestinians. This is part of a larger problem within the Guardian’s coverage of the region, which consistently fails to rigorously examine Palestinian society and mores.
Jeremy Saltan's combined weekly poll average from Oct 14-20 shows the Likud with 28 seats, down from the prior week's average of 29 seats, Kadima remains at 6, and Yisrael Beitenu is down to just about 13 seats.
The poll also shows that the Likud-Liberman-Haredi bloc would maintain its majority in any possible scenario, no matter what combinations of left and center parties it faces.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni may be throwing their hats into the political arena once more, teaming up to attempt to defeat the nationalist camp headed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
The poll predicted that in its present condition, with Shaul Mofaz at the helm, the Kadima party would net only a measly 3 Knesset seats.

The announcement comes on the heels of UNESCO's decision last week to name the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem as "Palestine's" first World Heritage Site.
Economic prosperity and the peace process with Israel are not going to convince most Palestinians to vote for people like Salam Fayyad or Mahmoud Abbas. The future leaders of the Palestinians are currently sitting in Israeli prisons. They include dispatchers of suicide bombers, heads of terror cells, ordinary terrorists and political leaders of various terror groups in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
