As political speculation mounts over the possibility of repeat elections, the pollster who delivered the most accurate sample in the last election cycle has delivered a blunt assessment: neither side can win. Tzuriel Sharon, whose i24NEWS poll outperformed all others in the most recent Knesset race, told Nadav Peri's ALL-IN podcast that advisers promising party leaders a decisive victory are "simply wrong and misleading them."
"There are people telling Netanyahu that if he goes to elections again he'll bring in 61, and they're wrong and misleading him, and not for the first time," Sharon said in the interview. "I don't see it in the numbers right now. And on the other side, around Eisenkot and others, there are people whose vision is limited or who are driven by certain ambitions."
According to Sharon, the balance of forces in the political map does not allow for a clear decision by either side; even if Ofer Winter crosses the electoral threshold, the demographic and electoral data do not shift in a way that would enable a narrow government.
