What real-money prediction markets imply about Israel's 27 October 2026 election, the race for Prime Minister and the next government, compared with the TV polls.
Eisenkot holds the lead for Prime Minister at 50%
Up 0.1 points in a week. Netanyahu is second at 29% (-1). "Election held on schedule (27 Oct)" moved from 85.2% to 93.0% this week. $529K traded on the PM race in 24h.
The dial shows the chance the market gives the front-runner of being the next Prime Minister. Under 35% is a long shot, over 65% a favourite. Every candidate's own odds follow. Photos: Polymarket.
The chance the market gives each candidate, the change from 7 days ago in points, and the money traded on each since the market opened. $51.9M traded on the race in all, $529K of it in the last 24h.
Select a party for its figure before rounding.
HaMiluimnikim: no seat market, polls 4.0
Expected seats from each party's Polymarket seat markets, rounded to whole seats; select a dot or a party for its figure before rounding. Hatched: fewer than 4 seats, which no party can actually win, because 4 is the minimum for entering the Knesset. Such a figure is an average of two outcomes: staying out (no seats) and getting in (4 or more). Parties with no seat market are listed with their poll average and not drawn. Ra'am and HaReshima HaMeshutefet are counted together as the Arab parties, toward neither side's 61, here and in the poll rows alike. * The parties' expected seats add up to 123, more than the 120 there are, because each party's market is priced separately. They are scaled down to 120 here.
The yes/no markets with at least $20,000 traded on the question itself, five at most. Odds are the implied chance of Yes.

Latest seat polls from three main TV channels, their average, and what Polymarket implies. Bloc rows first: the market figure is the hemicycle count for the same parties, so both sides of a row group the parties the same way. Ra'am and HaReshima HaMeshutefet are counted together as the Arab parties, toward neither side's 61, here and in the poll rows alike. Party rows: mean expected seats, with the range that holds the middle half of the odds. Gap = markets minus poll average. Threshold = chance of at least one seat, from the threshold market.
Poll figures in this section are frozen: polls published from 23 October 2026 on are not used, because of the restriction on publishing polls in the last days before the election. The newest poll here is from 27 September 2026. Market figures keep updating.

A dash means the outlet did not publish a figure for that party; 0 means it had the party below the threshold. When one outlet is 5 or more seats away from the other two, its figure is marked and the average without it is shown in brackets.
These odds add up to 100.9%, not 100%: each party is a separate market with its own price, and the excess is the market's margin. They are shown as traded, not rescaled; the seat projection is the one place that is scaled, to 120.
Probability of each seat range from the party's Polymarket seat markets; the darker bar is the highest-priced range. Right: the mean, and under it the range that holds the middle half of the odds (a quarter of the probability lies below it and a quarter above). Range prices can sum above or below 100 (the market's overround); both figures remove it.
Simulated from the TV poll average. For each party, the chance it falls under the electoral threshold, what the markets say, its expected seats, and where its seats go if it misses (or what it takes from others if it passes). Last column: the chance of a 61-seat Netanyahu bloc when the party passes, then when it misses.
Poll figures in this section are frozen: polls published from 23 October 2026 on are not used, because of the restriction on publishing polls in the last days before the election. The newest poll here is from 27 September 2026. Market figures keep updating.
| Party | Poll avg | Misses (model) | Misses (markets) | Seats (10th-90th) | Seats shift | Netanyahu 61: passes → misses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HaMiluimnikim (Hendel) | 4 | 52% | - | 2.4 (0-6) | If it passes: Unaligned +4, Netanyahu bloc -2, Opposition -1, Arab parties -1 | 0.2% → 2% |
| Amcha Yisrael (Winter) | 4.3 | 43% | 65% | 2.9 (0-6) | If it misses: Netanyahu bloc -2, Opposition +2 | 2% → 0.2% |
| Ra'am | 5 | 25% | 5% | 4.2 (0-7) | If it misses: Arab parties -5, Netanyahu bloc +3, Opposition +2 | 0.5% → 3% |
10 other parties each carry under 15% risk and are not listed.
Each party's vote is drawn around its poll average with an error that grows with size (about 1.3 seats for a 4-seat party), 20,000 times, independently. The threshold is 3.25% of valid votes, which is 4.06 seats' worth once typical wasted votes are taken out: a party polled at exactly 4 is a coin flip, as in past elections. A 0 in a poll counts as a reading just under the line, not as no support. Seats go by D'Hondt among the parties that pass; surplus agreements are ignored. "Markets" is the Polymarket threshold market where one exists.
Each of the 3 parties closest to the threshold can pass or miss, which makes 8 combinations. Each chart shows where the Netanyahu bloc lands in the draws that fell into one combination, coloured by who reaches 61 there. Ordered from the most likely combination to the least.
Poll figures in this section are frozen: polls published from 23 October 2026 on are not used, because of the restriction on publishing polls in the last days before the election. The newest poll here is from 27 September 2026. Market figures keep updating.
In none of the 8 combinations is the Netanyahu bloc the favourite to reach 61. Its best case is 8%, when Amcha Yisrael passes and HaMiluimnikim and Ra'am miss. A Knesset where neither side reaches 61 is most likely (98%) when all of them pass.
At poll averages: Opposition 55 · Arab parties 13 · Netanyahu bloc 52
At poll averages: Opposition 55 · Arab parties 13 · Netanyahu bloc 52
At poll averages: Opposition 54 · Arab parties 12 · Unaligned 4 · Netanyahu bloc 50
At poll averages: Opposition 57 · Arab parties 13 · Netanyahu bloc 50
At poll averages: Opposition 55 · Arab parties 13 · Unaligned 4 · Netanyahu bloc 48
4 further combinations, at or under 15% each and 25% together, are not charted.
The chances and the charts come from the same 20,000 draws as the table above, so every other party moves too; "at poll averages" is the seat split with only the listed parties forced in or out. Each side is counted on its own seats. Ra'am and HaReshima HaMeshutefet are counted together as the Arab parties, toward neither side's 61, here and in the poll rows alike. Errors are drawn independently per party: a polling miss that hits a whole bloc is not modelled, so the side behind in the polls is understated here.
