A new poll published by Maariv showed that while the National Unity party continues to lead, it is losing power, while the Likud party is recovering.
The poll, conducted by Panels Politics, showed that if elections were held today, National Unity would receive 28 Knesset seats, while Likud would receive 27. Yesh Atid would be the third-largest party, with 19 seats.
Among the smaller parties, Shas would win nine seats, United Torah Judaism would win seven seats, and Hadash-Ta'al would win six seats.
Four parties would win five seats each: Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism, Yisrael Beytenu, and Ra'am (United Arab List). Meretz would be the smallest party in the Knesset with just four seats.
In this poll, neither Labor nor Balad is projected to pass the electoral threshold.
Divided into blocs, the poll gives the center-left a total of 61 seats, and the current coalition just 53 seats. The remaining six seats are held by Hadash-Ta'al, which is not expected to join any coalition.
On Thursday evening, Channel 14 published a poll by Direct Polls projecting that the Likud party would win 30 Knesset seats, and National Unity 28.
In that poll, Yesh Atid was expected to win 14 seats, Shas 10, Yisrael Beytenu eight, and United Torah Judaism seven.
The poll gave Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism, and Ra'am five seats each; Meretz and Hadash-Ta'al would win four seats each.
This poll projects the current coalition as winning 57 Knesset seats, while the center-left wins 59 seats. Hadash-Ta'al holds the remaining four seats.
