Final polls give the two Arab lists between 14 and 16 seats

All three TV polls put the Joint List at 9; Ra'am ranges from 5 to 7, and neither bloc reaches 61.

The last polls before the legal publication cut-off, released on Friday 23 October, gave the Joint List 9 seats in each of the three TV surveys.

Channel 13 (Madad) gave Ra'am 7, for 16 Arab seats; Channel 12 (Midgam) and Kan (Kantar) gave Ra'am 5, for 14.

The opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot polled 52 to 56 seats and Netanyahu's bloc 50, leaving both short of a majority without the Arab lists.
