One quarter of Israeli voters are still undecided ahead of a general election on January 22, a poll published Friday showed.
The poll published by the Ma'ariv newspaper also found that most of the undecided voters identify with centre-left parties.
It added that their ballots would not be enough to change the overall trend, which forecasts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hawkish Likud-Beteinu list of candidates to win the most seats in the 120-strong parliament.
Right-wing, nationalist and ultra-Orthodox parties are expected to have a majority in parliament.
According to the survey, Likud-Beteinu would win 38 seats, followed by the centre-left Labour Party, with 16. The rising ultra-nationalist Jewish Home party would secure 13 seats, and the
ultra-Orthodox Shas party 12.
Two new centre-left parties, The Movement, headed by former foreign minister Tzipi Livni, and Yesh Atid, would receive seven and eight seats respectively.
Another ultra-Orthodox party, United Torah Judaism, would win six seats, and the dovish Meretz party five. The Arab-Jewish Hadash party would win four seats, and two parties representing Arab Israelis - Balad and Raam-Taal - would each win three.
The centrist Kadima party, which won the most seats in the 2009 election, would just scrape into parliament with three seats.
A poll in the Yediot Aharanot newspaper forecast Likud-Beteinu winning 33 seats, Labour 18, and the Jewish Home 14.
The Ma'ariv poll had 506 respondents, and a 4.5-per-cent margin of error. The Yediot poll questioned 1,000 people. The paper said its margin of error ranged from 0.8 seats for a party with two seats, to 3 seats for a party with 33 seats.
Israeli election polls have proven unreliable in the past.
