INDIA POLITICS: Exit Polls predict clear majority for NDA
Decisive mandate augurs well for reforms and market
The Exit Polls for 2014 General Elections accord a clear majority to BJP-led NDA.
This confirms the momentum shown in successive opinion polls by various
agencies since Jul-13. The latest Exit Poll trend shows that NDA would get an
absolute majority on their own by more than doubling their 2009 Lok Sabha tally
of 141 to 285.
All agencies barring Times now have predicted absolute majority by NDA on
their own.
Exit Polls confirm continued momentum for BJP-led NDA that would double its 2009 tally

BVTI-Chanakya has accorded a maximum of 340 seats to NDA. The results
indicate that the recent trend of decisive mandate seen at the state level has
been replicated at the Central level also.
All agencies have revised upwards their estimates as per Exit polls with the CNN
IBN – CSDS making the least change as compared with their own Opinion polls.
An absolute majority as indicated by the Exit polls was made possible by BJP
making inroads into Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and the North East.
The Exit poll results also shows that the NDA has been accorded more seats than
Opinion Poll in nearly all states barring Tamil Nadu and Punjab as per the ABP –
Nielsen polls.
A decisive mandate would obviate the need for hunt for allies providing much
needed stability to the government. This would also pave the way for ushering
in enduring reforms a significant positive for the market.
All agencies increased the tally for NDA in the Exit poll compared with their Opinion polls

In the past opinion/exit polls disappointed; could this time be different?
Past experience suggests that in the past either opinion poll or exit polls have
failed to predict the national mood accurately.
Thus during 1998 elections they accorded huge seats to Third front while in
reality NDA and UPA performed better. During 1999, exactly the reverse mistake
was committed. Thus opinion polls during that time were closer to extrapolating
the past.
During the last two general elections the number of seats predicted for NDA
were far higher than the UPA. Also the margin of error were embarrassingly
large during these two occasions.

Exit polls have fared better during recent Assembly elections
The exit polls however, have been a fairly accurate predictor during Assembly
elections.
For most occasions during the last two years of state elections, exit polls have at
least been directionally correct although they underestimated the magnitude of
swing.
The rise of AAP in Delhi, however, were nearly unpredicted.
The above experience suggests while exit polls have failed to detect the
emergence of a new phenomenon, if there is a dominant mood swing in a state
level context, exit polls by and large predicted the change accurately.
