Opinion polling for the 2009 Israeli legislative election

This article provides a collection of opinion polls that were conducted relating to the 2009 Israeli legislative election.

Notes

• Israeli law requires a 2% threshold (yielding a minimum of two seats) for a party to be seated in the Knesset. Therefore, surveys that poll only one seat for a party reveal limited support that would not actually result in their seating.
• Where contradictions in sources are found, the table lists the result from the original source, where available, or the majority of other sources. These are noted and referenced below.
• The three main Arab parties (United Arab List-Ta'al, Hadash, and Balad) are grouped together when no source reveals how they were polled separately. On December 22, 2008, the Israeli Elections Committee delivered a court order mandating that media list these parties by name.^[1]
• In December 2008, the National Union was reconstituted as a separate party from The Jewish Home. Prior to then, surveys polled these groups collectively.
