The most recent election poll saw Netanyahu's bloc earning 62 seats, just shy of a majority coalition needed to lead the government, with the help of the newly formed ticket of the Zionist Spirit. Thursday's poll, by contrast, puts him as leading a majority in the upcoming Knesset, despite the Zionist Spirit's nose-dive below the threshold.
Closing the gap left By Shaked and Hendel are Religious Zionism and United Torah Judaism which gained a seat each.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the political rainbow, Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid fell by three whole seats and Gideon Sa'ar and Benny Gantz's joint list also lost a seat. The current governing coalition's losses were partially offset by gains on the left, with the Labor earning two more seats.
