Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the overwhelming choice for prime minister among Chareidi respondents in a new poll conducted by pollster Shlomo Filber, according to results published Monday night by B’Chadrei Charedim.
The poll found that 84% of respondents identified Netanyahu as the person they believe is most suitable to serve as prime minister.
The other candidates received substantially lower figures:
Gadi Eisenkot — 4%
Benny Gantz — 1%
Naftali Bennett — 0.8%
Avigdor Liberman — 0.2%
The results come amid the continuing political battle over the draft of Chareidi bnei yeshivos, an issue that has created significant tensions between Chareidi parties and Netanyahu’s political camp.
The published report did not provide key methodological details including the poll’s sample size, margin of error, or precise wording of the question, so the 84% figure should be understood specifically as the result reported from Filber’s survey rather than a definitive measurement of the entire Chareidi electorate.
