The first Opinion Poll of 2021 ABPNetwork-CVoter Survey unravels the political battles of the year
  • ABPNetwork-CVoter conducts the first opinion poll of India covering all five regions that go to polls in 2021
  • As per the survey, TMC stands tall in West Bengal with 43.0% vote share, followed by BJP with 37.5% vote share
  • ABPNetwork-CVoter has projected 41.1% vote share for UPA and 28.7% vote share for NDA in Tamil Nadu

Noida: ABP Network is the first media network to conduct an Opinion Poll Survey for all four states and a union territory that go to polls in 2021 – West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry. Conducted with research partner CVoter (Centre for Voting Opinion & Trends in Election Research), the opinion poll survey aims to provide a clearer picture of how the ballot game stands for the five states.

Last year, as the highly-dramatic Bihar Elections drew to a close, ABP Network’s Exit Poll was the only poll in the industry to hit the mark. It not only vindicated a prediction of a close fight, but also produced an accurate vote share projection.

What’s more is that, this Opinion Poll Survey marks the beginning of ABP Network’s reign in the southern region as the network is likely to soon catapult into the Tamil Nadu market. 

The ABPNetwork-CVoter survey revealed that as per public opinion, TMC is leading in West Bengal with 43.0% vote share (154 to 162 seats), whereas BJP stands second with 37.5% vote share (98 to 106 seats).
