It may be a stretch to claim the first poll truly indicates a majority. The poll concluded 50.9% in favour, but also states: "605 men and women were interviewed in Hebrew and 151 in Arabic, constituting a representative national sample of the entire adult population of Israel aged 18 and older. The maximum sampling error for the entire sample was 3.55%± at a confidence level of 95%." See en.idi.org.il/media/22474/israeli_voice_index_data_2312_eng.pdf

@EndAntisemiticHate I agree it's a stretch, but that's still the point estimate given by the survey and so insofar as it goes, it's evidence in support of the proposition. Indeed, I include it specifically as a partial counter-point in the manner you suggest, because IDI also shows good discipline in polling, etc. Whereas the more sensational, recent result has other reasons to suspect it. My preamble to this answer is meant to point out that while the technical answer to 'is there survey data' is yes, there's a lot of wiggle room when it comes to interpreting that data.
