The polls have elected Peres at one time or another to every major position.

In fact he has never won a single election.

They never showed a huge margin like this.

Actually when he ran against Shamir the first time Labour captured 39 madates to Likud's 37. Peres couldn't form a government and the net result was a grand coalition and a power sharing arrangement. Peres served as Prime Minister for two years followed by Shamir for two years. To say he didn't win is a bit inaccurate. No party has ever won an outright majority.
