Some important Disclaimers:

Sample size –

Most surveys in India end up interviewing less than 0.05% of voters. Our sample size was 1251 in total which is more than the sample size of 401(approx).

Opinions were gathered from 12-02-2023 to 10-03-2023

Only those whose opinions were registered were voters. There were % of the people who took this opinion poll but did not opine as they were not registered, Voters

Internet savvy people bias –

As this was an Internet-based poll, only those persons who were Internet savvy voted hence this is a big limitation.

The margin of Error – As the responses were not gathered in person like other opinion polls, there can be a margin of error.

But one has to understand that we aren’t really predicting seats, we are just trying to get the sense of the voters.
