BJP to retain Uttar Pradesh with big loss of seats; neck-and-neck fight between AAP, Congress in Punjab: CVoter survey.

With the Assembly elections due in five states early next year, a projection by ABP-CVoter shows that the road towards victory for the BJP and its allies is going to be a difficult one.

Although the survey shows that the BJP will return in Uttar Pradesh, it is not happening without the party losing over 100 seats it won in the last state elections. In Punjab, BJP and allies (BJP+) is expected to win zero seats whereas both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress (INC) are locked in a neck-and-neck fight, but without either hitting the majority mark.

The poll was conducted with a sample size of 1,07,193 people across 690 seats with a margin of error of +/- 3% to +/- 5%.
