A survey conducted for Army Radio in 500 Households by GeoCartographia shows a drop for Likud from 30 to 25 seats, a jump into the abyss for Zionist Camp (Labor) from 24 to 8 seats, and a rise for Habayit Hayehudi from 8 to 16 seats.
Yair lapid’s Yesh Atid would have been another big favorite had the elections been held this week, with 22 seats, up from 11. Lapid’s arch-enemies, United Torah Judaism, also jump significantly, from 6 to 11. Interestingly, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu is boosted by only one seat, from 6 to 7, possibly because Liberman is yet to fulfill his promise to kill Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya within 48 hours of taking office.
Here is the complete list, current number of seats in brackets:
Likud — 25 [30]
Yesh Atid — 22 [11]
HaBayit HaYehudi — 16 [8]
Joint Arab List — 13 [13]
United Torah Judaism — 11 [6]
Zionist Camp (Labor) — 8 [24]
Shas — 7 [7]
Yisrael Beitenu — 7 [6]
Kulanu — 6 [10]
Meretz — 5 [5]
In terms of political affiliation, the Knesset factions would have experienced a serious tilt to the right were the elections held this week:
72 [67] Right-Religious
48 [53] Center-Left-Arab
