Several months ahead of the October 27 national elections, the vast majority of Israelis have already decided whom they’re voting for, according to poll results released on Sunday by the Jewish People Policy Institute.

The latest JPPI survey, conducted this month, found that a majority (53%) of Israelis are already “completely sure” whom they’re voting for, while a further 29% are “fairly sure.” Only 14% said they’re still undecided, and the remaining 4% said they aren’t going to vote.

Among those who identified as on the left, 71% are already “completely sure” whom they’ll vote for, while among those on the right, 58% are. By contrast, only 44% of centrist voters said the same.

“In other words, the campaign’s real battlefield is focused on the center,” JJPI said in a press release.

Compared to the same survey a year ago, the results of this poll indicated a modest continuation of the Jewish Israeli public’s rightward shift, with 66% of Jewish respondents identifying as on the right, compared to 63% in July 2025.

Meanwhile, the share of Jewish voters who identified as “exactly in the center” grew from 10% in July 2025 to 13% in July 2026, while the share of those who identified as on the left shrank from 22% a year ago to just 19% this time.

Strikingly, only 3% of Jewish respondents this year said they identified as on the left. None, or a negligible number, identified as “far left.”

Among Arab respondents, about half identified as on the left, similar to last year, while the share of Arab voters who said they couldn’t find any place for themselves on the political map went down from 21% last year to 15% this time.

Asked what sort of coalition they’d like to see in the next Knesset, a plurality (27%) opted for a “change bloc” government that includes Arab parties. A further 8% opted for the “change bloc” but without Arab parties.
