📊 Zman Yisrael poll and weekly comparison: The supplied Zman Yisrael poll summary gives the Change Bloc 55 seats, with Winter and Yaron Zelekha failing to clear the electoral threshold.
A separate weekly summary lists these paired seat totals: Channel 11, 52–52; Channel 12, 54–50; Channel 13, 52–54; Channel 14, 46–64; Channel 15, 48–60; Channel 16, 53–52; Zman Yisrael, 55–51; and Israel Hayom, 52–52.
That summary does not specify individual poll dates or define the paired blocs. Its Channel 14 figure of 46–64 also differs from the detailed September 17 breakdown of 44 non-Arab opposition seats, 64 Netanyahu-bloc seats and 12 Arab-party seats. The supplied material does not resolve the discrepancy.
