Not anomalies per say but the margins are thin.

 

In northern maharashtra banning onion exports impacted. There was farm distress in May. Post monsoon there is anger but less anger.

 

Mumbai 36 seats a lot depends on turnout. If it's like 60% then bjp will do well and improve its ls tally. If it's nearer to 50% expect Mva to do well. Mumbai has been having monsoons lately and if they continue I can see Uddhav benefitting from a lower turnout. If weather is pleasant then Bjp might gain on better middle class representation.

 

Lots of twists and matters of fate in a tight contest.

Apparently ec says that television channels start showing leads based on their exit polls on counting day before the counting starts

 

Truly terrible. 

They start showing leads even before postal ballots are opened or counted.

 

You are our guy for Maharashtra elections, to give us regular opinion polls. Hopefully not like the ones which Hooda gave to Rahul Gandhi. :cantstop:

I can't predict maharashtra for **** lol. It's so difficult. 

 

Only thing I can say is that 55% is the turnout barrier nda needs to win majority of seats in mumbai. Below 50% mva advantage.  50 to 55 it will depend on turnout seat by seat.

 

If bjp wants to win it needs to stop congress in viderbha. It's as simple. Viderbha is cong vs bjp.

One interesting thing i notice is that polling agencies routinely get the number of indepents wrong.

 

I think maharashtra is likely to see around 15 +/- 5 "others" not allied to the main fronts. Mns aimim vba peasants and workers party, bva and raju shetti  are likely to put out strong contenders on upto 30 seats.

 

Will be interesting if both fronts finish in the 130 to 140 bracket.

Polling in India is bakwaas. In my experience, they dont do the western style 'cold calling and anonymous surveys', they wait outside booths and interview people who give votes or walk around in the streets asking people with a camera in their face. So people give the answers they think the reporter wants to hear/will look good on tv and not what they really think. I think this is why polling in India is consistently wrong every single time.

What you have said is known as the demand effect

Bjp have done well to finalise seat sharing in jharkhand and maharashtra

 

Bjp 68 ajsu 10 jdu 2 and lpj 1. This is a very good seat share set up. Like it or not a lot of Hemant Soren social schemes are popular and it will be a tough fight in terms of vote share. Nda have put best foot forward. If jmm and cong dont get seat share right it might be one of the reasons for a loss.

 

Maharashtra is bjp 151 Shinde 84 and Ajit Pawar 53. I feel bjp could have contested a bit more by reducing shinde. Keep in mind bjp will be fighting more in weaker nda regions of marathwada and viderbha. Maybe 160 was ideal for bjp. I think bjp are currently in the 70 to 80 seat bracket. It should also be noted that opposition struggled with seat sharing for ls. But ended up winning. Nda have announced a lot of sops. Only time will tell if they are working.
