Recent polling averages ahead of Israel's October 27 Knesset election show Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc—comprising Likud, Shas, United Torah Judaism, Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism-Zehut, and smaller lists like Ofer Winter's—holding a modest edge of roughly 53-55 seats against the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar, Naftali Bennett's B'Yachad, Yisrael Beiteinu, and the Democrats at 50-52 seats. This positioning reflects steady right-wing consolidation and incremental gains in October surveys from outlets such as Channel 13 and Maariv, even as neither side approaches the 61-seat majority threshold. Arab parties remain at around 13 seats with no bloc alignment, while threshold dynamics and surplus agreements continue to influence final allocations. Trader consensus assigns the Netanyahu bloc a 58.5% implied probability of securing more seats, consistent with these seat projections amid a closely contested race.
