A poll conducted by the Madgam Institute shows Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked and Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel's new 'Zionist Spirit' party would pass the electoral threshold if elections were held today, the first time a party led by Shaked has polled above the threshold in some time.

The poll, which was published by Channel 12 News, shows that if elections were held today, the Likud would be the largest party with 33 seats, with Yesh Atid placing second with 23 seats.

The Blue and White-New Hope list would place third with 11 seats. the Religious Zionism party would win nine seats, Shas eight seats, United Torah Judaism seven seats, the Joint List six seats, and the Meretz and Yisrael Beytenu parties would win five seats each.

The Zionist Spirit and Ra'am parties would receive four seats each.

The poll finds the Netanyahu bloc winning 57 seats while the anti-Netanyahu bloc would win 53 seats, both short of the 61 seats needed to form a majority coalition. Netanyahu would be able to form a coalition if Zionist Spirit joins him.
