In the run-up to the April 2019 Israeli legislative election, which was held on 9 April, various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge voting intentions in Israel. Results of such polls are displayed in this article, ranging from the previous legislative election, held on 17 March 2015, to the 2019 election.
Campaign period Electoral threshold Polls do not take the electoral threshold (currently 3.25%) into account in a uniform fashion. Some polls reported the number of seats each party would win purely according to the percentages, as though there were no threshold; others eliminated parties that polled below the threshold and distributed the 120 available Knesset seats only among those who passed it. As a result, parties that polled at or near the threshold can show inconsistent results, bouncing between 0 and the minimum 3 or 4 seats. Polls may not add up to 120 seats due to rounding or omitted parties that drop out or do not poll consistently.
Graphs These graphs show the polling trends from the time Knesset candidate lists were finalized on 21 February, until the day of the election. No polls were published from Friday before the election until the election date.
If more than one poll was conducted on the same day, the graphs show the average of the polls for that date.
Blocs
Legend Right-of-centre parties: all current government parties—Likud, Kulanu, Shas, United Torah Judaism (UTJ), Union of the Right-Wing Parties (URWP), and New Right—as well as Yisrael Beiteinu and Zehut. Centre and left-of-centre parties: Labor, Blue & White, Ra'am-Balad, Hadash-Ta'al, Meretz, and Gesher.
Note: Political blocs do not necessarily determine the exact makeup of post-election coalitions.
Parties
Polls Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first. The highest figure in each survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then both figures are shaded. Parties that fall below the threshold are denoted by the percentage of votes that they received (N%) instead of the seats they would have gotten. When a poll has no information on a certain party, that party is instead marked by a dash (–).
These tables list the polls published from the time that Yisrael Beiteinu left the government coalition in mid-November 2018, until election day.
Legend R — sum of right-of-centre parties, including all current government parties—Likud, Kulanu, Shas, United Torah Judaism (UTJ), Union of the Right-Wing Parties (URWP), and New Right—as well as Yisrael Beiteinu and Zehut. L — sum of centre and left-of-centre parties, including: Labor, Blue & White, Ra'am-Balad, Hadash-Ta'al, Meretz, and Gesher.
