Israel's Election Exit Polls Show No Clear Winner

Exit polls after Israel's October 27 national election showed no clear winner, the New York Times reported, and Israelis faced weeks of possible political gridlock. Partial official results, with 76.8% of ballots counted, gave the Likud-led bloc, a grouping of parties, 54 seats, short of a majority in the Knesset (parliament). Final results are due November 4.
