Israeli Election Results Show How the Electorate's Support Has Shifted
A New York Times analysis of Israeli election data finds that some voter groups stayed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party while its support fell among others. Turnout was also a notable factor.
In an analysis of Israel's parliamentary election results, The New York Times examined which voter groups backed the party of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and where its support declined. Such data indicates which parts of the electorate the head of government can rely on and where his position is weaker.
According to the newspaper's summary, some groups of voters stood by Netanyahu's party. In other groups, support for it fell.
Voter turnout was the other significant feature of the election. The newspaper describes it as a striking factor in the vote.
The source material available does not include exact figures on party results, the breakdown of voter groups or the turnout level. For that reason, no more detailed data on which groups changed their choice is provided here.
