Much like with Mitt Romney, it seems that Benjamin Netanyahu had no idea of the electoral drubbing headed his way, despite the fact that independent pollsters very much did see it coming. Yes, you guessed it: Netanyahu’s pollsters were apparently skewing his poll data.
Haaretz has the details on some familiar-sounding confused pollsters...
On Sunday Netanyahu was still convinced his party would obtain 36-37 Knesset seats. While most of the experienced pollsters like Camil Fuchs, Dr. Mina Tzemach and Rafi Smith discerned Likud-Beiteinu’s slide toward 30 seats, Netanyahu and his partner Avigdor Lieberman were intoxicated by groundless figures with at best a flimsy connection to reality.
Team Bibi got 31 of 60 Knesset seats, just barely a majority...if they can keep it together. What goes around, comes around, man. Can't say I'm surprised, after all, Bibi thought it would be a good idea to back Mitt Romney...
