Neither do the dramas change the status quo: A survey conducted by the Mogarot Institute states that the recent events did not lead to a definite decision, and the picture of the blocs is almost the same • Netanyahu increases the gap to the prime minister by 47% compared to 37% for Gantz • Only 56% are sure to come to point out

Washington State Summit between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump and Presenting the Century Plan, Naama Issachar's Return to Home, Warming Up with Sudan, and Further Southern Warming and Renewable Firing of Missiles and Balloons - All the Reversals of the Israeli Public in the Last Two Weeks Much has changed the mandate map, as reflected in this week's "Brainstorm" poll for "Israel Today" and "i24NEWS".

The poll shows that if elections were held today, Blue and White would maintain its status as the largest party in the Knesset, and even rise to 36 seats - three more than it has in the current Knesset. The Likud remains second with 34 seats (compared to 32 in practice).

Shas receives 8 mandates and Torah Judaism - 7. The right, headed by Minister Naftali Bennett, receives 8 seats. Overall, the right-wing bloc is strengthening against its current power and reaches 57 seats. However, it is not enough to form a government.

In the left bloc, Labor-Bridge-Meretz receives 8 seats and the joint list - 13. Israel Our Home, headed by Avigdor Lieberman, drops to 6 seats. Jewish power does not exceed the blocking percentage and receives a single percentage of support. The survey examined the degree of security in voting by sectors and by parties. The party with the highest confidence is Torah Jewry: 79% of its voters said they would vote for it for sure. Second Shas with 65% certainty. The party with the highest number of undecided voters is right: only 28% of those who said they intend to vote for it are certain it will indeed be the ballot they will cast.

And what about the confidence rate in exercising the right to vote? Here too, Torah Judaism is leading with 83% of its voters, who say they will come to exercise their right with certainty. Likud with 60% certainty while blue and white with 66% certainty. The party with the lowest rate of certainty is Israel our home. Only a third of its voters said they would certainly come to the polls to exercise their right.

Netanyahu continues to lead on the question of whether the Prime Minister is fit: 47% said he was the most suitable. 39% said Benny Gantz is the right person to serve.

As for the Trump program, the public's opinions are divided. When asked whether Israel should adopt the entire plan, 35% answered yes. 31% said no. 34% said they did not know.

Regarding the part of the program that applies sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and the Yishuv communities: 32% said it should be done before the elections. 23% said it should be annexed but only after. Only 20% said it was not annexed at all, while 25% said they did not know.

The survey was conducted among 506 respondents who represent a representative sample of the adult population in Israel. The statistical error is 4.4% either way.
