A new opinion poll published Thursday by Zman Yisrael, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew-language sister site, showed a bump in support for Naftali Bennett’s B’Yachad party at the expense of Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar, but featured no change in the deadlock between the pro-Netanyahu and anti-Netanyahu blocs if the October 27 elections were held today.

Yashar remained the biggest party but lost two seats to get 23 seats, while the ruling Likud stayed at 21, and B’Yachad got 15, gaining two seats after consistently losing ground over the past few months, though it was too early to say if this was a consistent trend.

Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu got 11 seats, Shas gets 9, United Torah Judaism and The Democrats 8 each, Hadash-Ta’al-Balad and Otzma Yehudit 7 each, Religious Zionism 6, and Ra’am 5.

Yoaz Hendel’s centrist Zionist Home fell below the 3.25% electoral threshold with 3.00%, Benny Gantz’s fellow centrist Blue and White got 2.40%, and Gilad Erdan’s new right-wing party got just 0.80%. All three are parties not aligned with either bloc.

The pro-Netanyahu bloc........
