The exit poll results have been declared on 16th Might and there's a surprise consensus across states amongst companies aside from Tamil Nadu.
Whereas all incumbent governments are anticipated to be thrown out, Mamata in Bengal is anticipated to be back as CM denying a Congress-Left alliance to make a comeback. There is a little bit of a suspense over Tamil Nadu with C-Voter predicting an AIADMK win whereas others predict Karunanidhi to make a comeback in keeping with historic pattern.
The vary of seat estimates can also be large particularly in case of Bengal with pollsters predicting a easy majority (News Nation 153 seats) to a landslide (India In the present day 243 seats).
That is basically as a result of a seat by seat exit poll will not be conducted and state huge vote share is extrapolated to reach at seat share. Exit polls level to a route which manner the outcomes might be and they have been profitable in this aspect.
Whereas bigger names like C-Voter and In the present day's Chanakya have come out with their numbers, India At present has partnered with Axis My India, the identical agency which acquired Bihar bang on however its outcomes weren't aired by CNN-IBN as they refused to believe them. Axis in the long run had the last snicker.
Axis and Chanakya have give you detailed studies - caste, sex, age, issues, popularity rankings etc. Whereas both level towards the same winner in states the story they narrate is solely different. Let us analyze the story behind these results.
1. Kerala
This South Indian state has always thrown out incumbent governments for past three decades and this time too pattern was maintained. BJP entry made the contest three cornered and threatened the real Hindu celebration Left within the state.
We had mentioned in our article in DailyO that Left is anticipated to sweep the state and it will not be a detailed elections like last time. Whereas Chanakya predicts vote share of 42%-37%-15%, Axis predicts 43%-35%-eleven% in favour of Left.
Total, the BJP is gaining between 5-9% versus last assembly election with bulk of the injury to the Congress which seems to be losing between september 11% factors while the Left is dropping 2-three% factors.
The size of anti-incumbency in opposition to the Congress is to do with the collection of corruption scandals, the Jisha case and the gradual shift of Hindu voters in direction of BJP.
Both polls show that BJP gained extra upper caste vote than Congress in Kerala. Chanakya poll also claims that BJP received practically 30% of the Ezhava vote versus Left at 49%.
This may very well be because of its alliance with Ezhava occasion BDJS. Further, BJP's greatest efficiency came amongst the 18-25 age group. These outcomes may very well be the first step towards consolidation of Hindu votes in favor of the BJP in Kerala and point out a bright future for BJP in Kerala.
Chanakya Theme - Left dropping vote share across caste teams, however Congress shedding more benefitting LDF
As per Chanakya, Left is seen dropping Nair (-10%) and Ezhava (-sixteen%) votes to BJP while Congress loss is larger amongst Nairs (-19%) and Ezhavas (-14%). Congress is seen dropping Muslim (-8%) and Christian (-9%) votes as effectively but this isn't going to Left.
Axis Theme - Left dropping vote share amongst Hindus, gaining amongst minorities because of fear of BJP
As per Axis, Left is dropping Ezhava (-18%) and SC votes (-16%) which goes to BJP. But this is getting negated by improve in minority community votes from Congress (Muslims +8% and Christians (+12%) which is in keeping with our prediction for DailyO that even minorities are turning away from Congress. If these tendencies proceed over the subsequent few elections, the two main events may very well be Left and the BJP.
2. West Bengal
Mamata is seen getting 200+ seats in each polls nonetheless they differ significantly by way of vote shares. Whereas Chanakya offers vote share of 42%-33%-thirteen%, Axis gives vote share of 51%-29%-10% in favour of TMC.
Chanakya Theme - Left dropping vote share throughout caste teams, Mamata the gainer
Left-Congress mix is seen dropping votes from even staunchest of supporters, Muslims (-thirteen%) and STs (-10%) compared to LS polls. Apparent gainer is Mamata.
BJP seen dropping its higher caste and OBC voters obviously on account of absence of Modi factor. Others at 12% is far greater than historic values and should undoubtedly be an overstatement.

Axis Theme - Left shedding vote share among Hindus, Mamata gaining amongst minorities due to concern of BJP
Left-Congress combine is seen dropping huge votes from Muslims (-22%), STs (-sixteen%) and SCs (-9%). This is huge having implications for a Congress rout in its citadel Malda and Murshidabad. BJP loses Apparent gainer is Mamata. BJP seen dropping half of its Hindu help to TMC. Others at eleven% may be very excessive.
As we had opined in our article in DailyO , Muslims maintain the keys to victory in the state with affect in 102 seats (35%). A swing in favour of Mamata from the neighborhood ensures her victory.
Nevertheless, forty five seats and 70 seats as projected by these two agencies for Left-Congress mix is just too low in our opinion as they have traditionally won 60 / 102 Muslim dominated seats. So their quantity is predicted to be a lot greater.
three. Assam
BJP appears to be like set to mark its entry in North East with a sweep here. Gogoi suffered from a 15 yr anti-incumbency and his failure to form an alliance. Only C-Voter is a dissenting voice here as it predicts a hung meeting with BJP as single largest occasion. We nonetheless opine that this is unlikely to occur. The division of Muslim votes as we had opined in our article in Yahoo has led to this doubtless defeat for Congress.
As per Chanakya distinction between BJP and Congress vote share is 11% which is explained by AIUDF vote share. As per Axis, the difference is 15% out of which 60% is explained by AIUDF which is anticipated to get 9%.
Both the surveys do not give separate numbers for Assamese & Bengali Hindus, Assamese & Bengali Muslims, Tea garden staff teams. Nevertheless, AIUDF garners 23%-25% Muslim votes in these surveys accounting for 8% vote share which is able to possible be the decider finally
Within the Axis Ballot, the hole between BJP and the Congress is the lowest amongst lower income voters (eight-10%), whereas it is large (19% to 23%) amongst middle and high earnings voters. This pattern is worrisome for Congress as increasingly voters are likely to transfer to center income within the subsequent 5-10 years.
4. Tamil Nadu
DMK led alliance is anticipated to make a comeback is a setback of kinds as there was no seen anti-incumbency against Jaya govt. However, final mile sensible campaigning led by Stalin and voters penchant for change in line with historic developments sealed the deal for DMK.
C-Voter and a few regional channels predict AIADMK victory and hence the suspense continues as C-Voter has acquired Tamil Nadu proper for the previous 1.5 decades as claimed by them.
Axis predicts vote shares of 39%-37%-24%. This successfully signifies that DMK has not gained vs 2011 elections (39.four%). AIADMK additionally has not lost important vote share (37% vs 38.four% in 2011).
Nevertheless, her erstwhile alliance companions (DMDK and Left) have taken away their chunk of vote share and hit her hard (thirteen%). Axis does not predict major positive factors for DMK throughout caste teams, nonetheless there's a swing from AIADMK to Others throughout caste teams with highest amongst SC (-15%), BC and MBC (-17%) voters.
Chanakya predicts vote shares of 44%-38%-18%. They estimate that DMK will achieve a vote share of 5% from throughout caste groups with a minor decline of 1% from Muslims. AIADMK vote share is predicted to be at same ranges as of 2011 with allies taking away virtually all of their votes from her.
Jayalalithaa additionally performed nicely amongst lower revenue, lower middle class and ladies voters. However DMK alliance notched up massive leads amongst center and higher income voters taking an overall lead (Axis Poll).
The big situation is what sort of turnout model was thought-about within the exit ballot analysis? If the mannequin wrongly estimated lower variety of low/earnings and women voters than the precise numbers, the ultimate results could even be in favor of AIADMK. This probably explains extensive variance in vote share forecasts between numerous exit polls.
To sum up, each State has a unique story to inform. Nonetheless, the exit polls in many ways confirmed who will win in Kerala, Bengal and to some extent Assam.
Only Tamil Nadu appears to be like somewhat dicey due to quite a lot of factors together with differing strengths for the DMK and AIADMK. So far as seat shares are involved, exit polls have a terrible record of estimating them appropriately (less than 40% accuracy) so one could be very assured that the majority exit polls WOULD definitely get the seat forecasts wrong.
It's best to take a seat again and wait till counting day to know the exact seats image. An entertaining day certainly on the 19th of May 2016.
