– Opinion Polls
Latest and probably the last opinion polls by Times Now and VMR has arrived just before the start of polling for Phase 1 of #LokSabhaElections2019
. The survey has predicted that BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is likely to form government at the center by just managing to score 279 seats out of the 543 seats. While some pre-poll surveys have pointed out that NDA might not be able to scrape through the magic figure of 272 and in that case the Third Front parties will turn out to be kingmakers. Looking at all possible permutations and combinations, it is anticipated that the results will be a nail-biting finish for all the parties involved.
But #LokSabhaElections2019
have good news in store for Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) with the survey predicting an increase of 89 seats to the 2014 tally. In other words, UPA will finish second with 149 seats to its tally. Though this will not help INC form government, yet the figure is definitely an improvement over the era of Modi wave in 2014. Non-BJP and Non-NDA parties will manage 115 seats and will definitely be a game changer.
It would be a clean sweep for NDA in 3 states namely Delhi, Uttarakhand, and Manipur. One of the biggest surprise thrown by opinion poll has been the state of Odisha. As per predictions, BJP will get 12 seats against the BJD's 8, a gain of 12 seats from last time.
Congress is favored in states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Chattisgarh.

In the south India states, BJP will not be able to make much dent. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana – Non-BJP and non-Congress regional parties will win. YSR Congress bagging at least 20 seats in Andhra Pradesh. In the state of Telangana, it will be a win for K Chandrashekhar Rao-led TRS bagging 14 of the 17 seats.
The survey also talks about the rating given on the issues that the common mass is facing. A whopping 39% voted lack of employment as THE Issue of Election. But still, 53.4 % voters feel that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can steer the country in right direction.
