Poll shows March 2 election delivering the same indecisive result

A Channel 12 poll reaffirms what pollsters from nearly every media outlet and polling firm have told us for weeks: Blue and White still leads and Likud still lacks an outright rightist-Haredi coalition.
Here are the results of the latest poll, with 4.4% margin of error:
Blue and White – 35 seats
Likud – 32
Arab Joint List – 13
Yisrael Beytenu – 8
Shas – 8
United Torah Judaism – 8
New Right – 6
Labor-Gesher – 5
Democratic Camp – 5
Jewish Home-National Union fail to clear the electoral threshold of 3.25%.
Where does that put Benjamin Netanyahu’s alliance of right-wing and Haredi parties? Down one seat from the current 55 to just 54, well short of the 61 needed for a parliamentary majority.
The March 2 vote is on track to deliver the same indecisive result as the April 9 and September 17 races before it.
