India Today exit poll prediction accurate for Haryana & Maharashtra polls
The prediction was based on face-to-face interviews with voters across 90 constituencies
The India Today-Axis-My-India exit poll delivered the most accurate picture of around 11 crore voters for the Haryana and Maharashtra elections, as per media reports.
In Haryana, while most TV stations predicted a sweep by the BJP, led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, it was the India Today poll that forecast anywhere between 32 and 44 for the ruling party.
The prediction was based on face-to-face interviews with voters across 90 constituencies, with a sample size of 23,118. The survey foresaw the Congress ranks swelling in the range of 30-42 seats, up from 15 five years ago.
In Maharashtra, the final verdict was closest to India Today-Axis-My-India's predictions for the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance unlike other pollsters forecasting a landslide victory for the ruling coalition.
According to the India Today-Axis-My-India survey, the BJP-Sena alliance was to secure between 166 and 194 seats and the NCP-Congress combine between 72 and 90.
