Exit Polls 2019 Predictions And Results
Exit polls do not provide the complete picture and cannot be relied upon blindly, as there is always room for relapses. There have been instances where exit polls have been incorrect. However, for the 2019 and 2014 general elections, the exit polls were much closer to the actual results.
In 2019, the average exit polls predicted the NDA’s tally at 306 and the UPA’s at 120. These predictions fell short of the actual results, as the NDA won 352 seats with the BJP securing 303. The UPA ended up with 93 seats, with the Congress winning 52.
Exit Polls 2014 Predictions And Results
In 2014, the BJP-led NDA achieved a landslide victory, which many exit polls failed to fully anticipate. Although they predicted that the NDA would come to power, they missed the extent of the margin. An average of eight exit polls predicted 283 seats for the NDA and 105 seats for the UPA. In reality, the NDA secured 336 seats with the BJP winning 282, while the UPA got 60 seats with Congress securing 44.
The 2024 Election Scenario
This election is fiercely contested, with stakes at their highest. The BJP has set an ambitious target of ‘Ab ki baar, 400 paar,’ while a new opposition alliance, the I.N.D.I Alliance, has emerged. As the final phase of the elections concludes, exit polls are poised to offer insights into this extensive democratic process. While anticipation surrounds the predictions, past discrepancies serve as a reminder to interpret them with caution. With the 2024 elections fiercely contested, the political landscape awaits the outcome eagerly, poised to shape the future trajectory of the nation.
