Just remember the polls before the last elections and what really happened. Machane Zioni was going to will with Herzog? What happened? Just the opposite.
Let us hope that Bibi continues for many years; Bibi has been very good for dealing with Arabs (could be better though) and properity (Israelis are financially doing well). Socially, it is a great country to live in, too!
