A poll broadcast by public television on Sunday night showed the Blue and White Party getting 35 Knesset seats, compared to 31 for the Likud Party if Likud is led by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and the center-left-Arab parties would get 59 seats, while the right-religious bloc would get 53 mandates.
If Gid'on Saar leads Likud, it only gets 27 seats, compared to 34 for Blue and White, but the United Right, which has split up since the last election, would qualify for the Knesset, unlike the Netanyahu scenario. The center-left-Arab margin over the religious right would slip to 57-56.
