Exit poll projections for the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry have been released by multiple agencies, indicating divergent political trends across states. Surveys including People’s Pulse, Axis My India, Matrize, Political Laboratory, Chanakya Strategies, and JVC have presented varying estimates, with some states showing clear leads while others indicate tight contests.
In Tamil Nadu, most exit polls suggest a continued advantage for the DMK-led alliance. People’s Pulse projects 125–145 seats for the DMK alliance, while the AIADMK alliance is estimated to secure 65–80 seats. Other agencies such as Matrize and Political Laboratory also forecast a DMK edge, though with narrower margins, while TVK is projected to emerge as a smaller but notable player across surveys.
In Assam, the majority of exit polls indicate a lead for the BJP-led NDA. People’s Pulse projects 68–72 seats for BJP, while Axis My India and Matrize estimate a stronger NDA performance in the range of 85–100 seats. Congress is projected to remain in the opposition with estimates ranging between 22–36 seats, depending on the agency.
West Bengal projections remain sharply divided across agencies. People’s Pulse predicts a strong Trinamool Congress (TMC) performance with 177–187 seats, while BJP is estimated at 95–110 seats. However, Chanakya Strategies and Matrize suggest a closer contest, with BJP and TMC both projected in competitive ranges, indicating a potentially tight electoral outcome.
In Kerala and Puducherry, exit polls show mixed and varied outcomes. In Kerala, some surveys indicate an advantage for the UDF with 75–85 seats, while others project a lead for LDF in the 55–65 range. In Puducherry, most polls suggest an NDA advantage with 16–20 seats. Overall, the exit polls highlight a mixed electoral picture across states, with final outcomes subject to the official counting of votes.
