Opinion Polls In India

The US presidential election was once a lesson in how democracy asserts itself. In 2024, it has become something else: a glorified version of Hulk Hogan wrestling with his shirt.

Can Sharad Pawar once again pull a rabbit out of the hat? The upcoming polls should clarify the future and the leadership of the NCP.

Two years later it seems that while farm-related issues may have influenced voters in border areas of Haryana, they failed to swing the overall mandate away from the BJP.

All naysayers overlooked the fact that Modi's BJP today is one of the most adaptable political parties seen in a long time.

Both elections have significant long-term implications. As the first polls following the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, their outcomes could influence the political landscape not only in the regions where the elections were held but across the country.

The voting for 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls, the first in almost a decade, took place in three phases - September 18, September 25 and October 1. While voting for 90 seats in Haryana state polls is underway.

After high-octane campaigns and elections in Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana, it's time for Exit Polls.

The results of the J&K election will be known on October 8, but one cannot rule out a realignment of political parties and groups in the aftermath of the results.

The third phase of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections is crucial for the leading political parties, with constituencies of many prominent candidates at stake. A fierce contest is on the cards.

In Jammu, only 79 candidates are contesting for 11 seats (over seven per seat), while 160 candidates are running for 15 seats in the Kashmir Valley (over 10 per seat). This indicates a greater presence of independents and smaller parties in Kashmir.

A recent poll revealed that 70% of Indians believe the government's move to provide health coverage to senior citizens under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) will significantly benefit the elderly.

The BJP's concern is that some voters may use the extended weekends for vacations, which could impact turnout. This situation highlights the growing inequality between urban and rural India.

Unlike the Lok Sabha elections, where political parties struggled to present concrete national issues, Haryana's assembly elections are rife with local concerns.

In the last three polls in Jammu and Kashmir, no party secured a simple majority of its own.

Brand Modi may have aged - or perhaps peaked as well - after 10 years in power, but it's still the prime differentiator between the BJP and the Congress.
