Despite Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu launching an attack against Bayit HaYehudi leader Naftali Bennett, accusing him of endorsing insubordination in the IDF, Bennett’s party continues to climb in the polls.
Srugim publishes the results of a Panels Politics poll, which shows the right-wing party earning 13 seats, a similar number to a poll aired on the Nissim Meshal Program prior to the Likud campaign against Bennett. The poll shows Likud with 36 seats, Labor with 18 and Bayit HaYehudi with 13, making it the third largest party in the 19th Knesset.
Other poll results include The Movement Party (9), Yesh Atid (9), Yahadut Hatorah (6), Meretz (4), Arab parties (10), Otzma Yisrael (3), Am Shalem (2). Kadima fails to reach the minimum to enter Knesset.
The right-wing emerges with 52 seats, chareidim 18, center 18, and left-wing 32 seats.

Can we get rid of Tzippy Livni & croonies?
The poll’s margin of error is at least several percent (really more, since Arab and Hareidi voters are very hard to poll, and Sefardim and Russian votes also tened to tell the pollster what they think the pollster wants to hear). In the US, a margin a few percents doesn’t mean all that much but under proportional representation, and with a 2% threshold to get into the kenesset, the margin of error largely renders the polls meaningless.
