As of 20 minutes ago, Likud had 24.1%; Zionist Union, 19.4%; Yesh Atid (ZU allies), 9.0%; Joint List (ZU allies), 8.7%; Kulanu (which could form an alliance with either Likud or ZU), 7.6% - and of five other parties with enough votes for representation in the Knesset, the 4 that back Likud, 22.8%; the one that backs ZU, 4%.

The unrefined total - up to now - is Likud and allies, 46.9%; ZU and allies, 41.1%; and Kulanu (the potential kingmakers), 7.6%. Therefore, this is still Netanyahu's to lose - but we shall see.
