Last I saw, Likud had 24.4% of the vote, Zionist Union (was that a name conjured up by 'Rat advisors from the US?) had 19, with 60% of precincts counted.

So the MSM's predictions and polls were dead wrong, perhaps something akin to the Truman-Dewey presidential race in the US in 1948 in the degree of inaccuracy. Probably a lot more deliberate fudging involved in the media polling in this Israeli race, though.

Jeremy Saltan’s last tracking was of 16 polls by eight different companies.

If some pollster called it accurately, it will be trumpeted Wednesday!

Perhaps it was wishful thinking on the part of the media. Not everyone in Israel speaks english so they would not be attuned the the drive by media.

Given the massive, nasty campaign conducted against Netayahu with complicity from the Israeli media, the bold lying and intentionally altered surveys before the election, the Eurabian Europeans and the Islamic White House, Netayahu has proven that the Jewish people will not go the way of the Czechs in 1938...it is amazing.
The Zionist Union, Labor party should be translated as the “Zionist Camp”. In the 90’s, during the Oslo debacle, they called themselves the “Peace Camp”. They can change their slogans, mottos and even their colors, from Communist Red, to Zionist blue and white but they remain the same trash.
