Poll gives 26 seats to Zionist Camp, 23 to Likud
Channel 2 survey shows 3-seat lead for Herzog-Livni over Netanyahu; Bayit Yehudi receives 15 and Arab list 12.
The Zionist Camp is gaining traction in the 2015 election campaign, according to Channel 2 poll results released Monday.
The poll showed the joint list led by Isaac Herzog and Tzipi Livni receiving 26 Knesset seats, a three-seat lead over Likud, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The previous Channel 2 poll showed a gap of two seats between the parties.

According to the poll, Naftali Bennett's Bayit Yehudi would take 15 seats if elections were held today, making it the third largest party. The unified Arab list would win 12 seats, after Hadash, Balad, and Raam-Taal joined together last week.
A number of parties would receive less than ten seats, based on the poll results. Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, would get nine seats – one more than Moshe Kahlon's new Kulanu party. Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beytenu rallied slightly with seven seats.
The poll showed Shas, headed by Aryeh Deri, nabbing seven seats, exactly the same number as the other haredi party, United Torah Judaism.
Meretz, which presented its list last week, would receive six seats, said the poll.
