Israel election polls show competition for security leadership
Recent opinion polls ahead of the Israeli elections on October 27 indicate a shifting political landscape, particularly regarding the leadership of the right-wing and security sectors. While Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party maintains a strong position in several polls, his monopoly on security leadership is being challenged by Gadi Eisenkot and his Yashar party.
In a Kan 11 poll, Yashar led with 23 seats to Likud's 21. Conversely, a News 14 poll placed the right-wing bloc at 64 seats compared to 44 for the left-wing bloc, with Likud securing 32 seats. Regarding the suitability for Prime Minister, Netanyahu maintains a lead in a News 14 poll with 53% against Eisenkot's 32%.
A Canal 13 News poll suggests Netanyahu's supporting bloc could win 54 seats, while Yashar remains the largest single party with 21 seats. The political discourse is heavily influenced by the security failures of October 7, which has prompted voters to seek leadership from within the security establishment, such as former Chief of Staff Eisenkot.
