Kaun Banega Mukhyamantri: ABP-CSDS Opinion Poll: Undivided SP will be single largest party with 141-151 seats

With just a few weeks left for assembly elections to begin in Uttar Pradesh, the latest turf war in the ruling Samajwadi Party may well have harmed its seemingly bright electoral prospects. The Lokniti-ABP News election tracker survey in Uttar Pradesh had found the Samajwadi Party to be leading its main opponents the BJP and BSP, mainly on account of the popularity of Akhilesh Yadav.

Despite major events such as demonetization, surgical strikes and the September-November feud in the Yadav family having taken place since the first round of the tracker survey conducted in August 2016, the December survey found little to have changed in terms of people’s voting preferences, with the SP retaining its front runner status. The ruling party led by Akhilesh Yadav was expected to secure 30 percent of vote, the same as August.

 

The BJP and its allies were found to be polling 27 percent votes, also the same as August. The other major player in UP politics, the BSP, was likely to witness a four percentage point drop in its vote share since the August survey. Mayawati’s party was estimated to get 22 percent votes. The Congress continued to be a distant fourth in the race.
