70 Mandates for the Right

Yossi Baum

Translation:

The dramatic poll this evening – insights: 70 seats for the right?

  • 58% suitability for Netanyahu is a fantastic figure that he has never had before with Filber. The maximum, in good times, was 52% (if I’m not mistaken). The meaning: disintegration of the left. All the players on the left together barely reach about two-thirds of Netanyahu’s support.

  • Take note: 58% support for Netanyahu, when converted to seats, equals 70 seats for the right. Again: 70 seats for the right.

  • I’ll remind you that when the previous elections were announced, Likud received 60 seats in Filber’s poll. At the ballot box, it managed to jump to 64. The meaning: if today, when there is no dissolution of the Knesset on the table, the right stands at 66, it may reach 70 seats at the ballot box, as mentioned above.

  • And another point: Netanyahu keeps many surprises up his sleeve for the upcoming elections that will make everyone drop to the floor. Another reason to think that the right will break through the glass ceiling of the “6-prefix” in the number of seats, heading toward the “7-prefix,” God willing. We shall live and see.

  • The new support for Netanyahu apparently comes from Liberman and Gantz — two figures who play in the “center” slot. Fits the low percentages they received.

  • Speaking of Benny Gantz — pity. His fall from a height of 40 seats in 2019 to 1% suitability — quicker and more painful than Lapid’s. The next Knesset, most likely, he will see from home. Unless he merges with another party.

  • Let us recall that when Gantz was inside the government, he reached 30 seats in a poll by
    @filbers.
    To his credit, it must be said that he tried to stretch the government’s time as much as possible, but at a certain point he could no longer withstand the pressure from the White House.

  • It’s unbelievable: if in the previous elections the parties hovering around the threshold percentage were the Arab parties and Shaked, now the parties in the danger zone are Liberman, Lapid, and Gantz. Who would have believed it.
