His popularity in the English speaking world and among middle class punjabis can be misleading. If you read Urdu, Dr Manzur Ejaz has a very good analysis of his actual impact: http://www.pakistanpost.net/epaper/allimages/p10-2.html
You are right.

Even Imran Khan is candid about that.

While he feels he can sweep the polls, he has also said that in case he cannot get absolute majority, he will not go into coalition and instead sit in Opposition because coalition will mean compromise and he is not ready to do it with the tainted parties that have been holding power in the present and the past.
