A poll commissioned by Chadrei Chareidim carried out by TGI shows that contrary to other recent polls, the Shas party almost manages to maintain its current standing in Knesset and it does not fall to single digits.

The poll released shows Likud receiving 27 seats, Bayit Yehudi 17, Labor 12, Yisrael Beitenu 8, Yesh Atid 10, Shas 10, Yahadut Hatorah 8, a party headed by Moshe Kahlon 6, Meretz 6, The Movement 3, Arab parties 11 and Kadima fails to enter Knesset.

The Movement would also not enter Knesset since the new minimum threshold is four seats.

The poll took place in the beginning of November involving close to 500 persons representing a cross section of the Israeli population 18 or older.
