My take is very simple.
The pollsters get a more accurate info from urban voters which tend to be pro BJP (at least in 2004 and 2009). On the other hand, the rural voters either keep quiet, or do not give correct info (or provide a body language which gives wrong impression). Hence the projected results are/were skewed in favor of BJP.

UPA made significant new inroads into the urban vote in 2009. Yet, arguably urban-biased exit polls did not capture the intensity of the result then. Here's an article with some data:
For decades, the Congress has been banking on rural voters, wooing them with doles and development schemes. However, in the 2009 general election, it was the support from urban voters that helped bring the UPA back to power; Of the 201 urban Lok Sabha seats, the UPA bagged 115 in 2009 (see graphic). Of the 342 rural seats, the alliance won 147, or 15 per cent more seats than it did in 2004. The voting pattern contradicted the belief that urban areas traditionally vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). But instead of rewarding this new found support base, the Congress-led UPA government remained largely aloof to their issues."As many as 12 of total 19 flagship schemes of UPA focused on rural India," a Congress leader told dna on condition of anonymity. "Of the remaining, just one, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), was actually meant to benefit urban India."

Even JNNURM, a transport and infrastructure upgradation scheme, has failed to achieve anything concrete. Half its projects are incomplete and the scheme's second phase has been stalled to free up government funds for the food security scheme and other initiatives for the rural benefit.
I don't agree with the urban vs rural polling accuracy issue. In fact, Lok Sabha is slightly skewed in favor of urban vs rural, i.e. 201 urban vs 342 rural seats, or a 37:63 breakdown, while 2001 urban:rural ratio was 28:72 (31:69 in 2011). This should intrinsically benefit growth oriented NDA, but it did not, until now.

What I am leading to is the argument I want to pitch in..

ie, it was a difference made by some leadership qualities.. there was none during last two decades for BJP, and these aged goons were pathetic to even keep up party politics.

The diff was Modi. remove Modi, we are back with Kangrez.. people choose the known family for unavailability of genuine leadership.

moral: please support any form Moditva or a person who stands for development and growth. who can think for the nation.

--

but, punjab is jabbing the hell out of that argument.. forget gelf and commie states.

Suraj, there's another opinion on this

>> The UPA-1's redistributive policies benefited it politically in 2009.

PC echoed the view couple of weeks ago that UPA had actually suffered reverses among the rural voters, the main beneficiary of its largesse policies like farm lone waiver etc and it was the urban voter, especially the middle class that came to their rescue. he said something to the tune of UPA derived the wrong lessons from 2009 win and is paying the price for it.

kati ji, undyTV's partner hansa had an interesting methodology, they asked people to press their preferred choice on a simulated EVM in a tab, thus avoiding some of the problems.

Anantha ji, more than his own ? that's surprising.

I second that and will add a caveat. CSDS gets direction right, they generally lowball the intensity. Chanakya gets both right. So in a way if you look at csds and chanakya together, BJP will get 272+ on their own.

Note tho that venkaiah Naidu and Jaitley were both pro modi. The rot seems to have started from advani himself.

And the term was apparently coined by Kanchan Gupta...

.......
Apart from Sushma’s tweet, another by a pipe-smoking journalist who is a special invitee to the BJP’s national executive and some of the RSS’s strategy sessions, was animatedly discussed because it hinted darkly at internal mischief against Modi. It said: “I can bet my (new) ‘gamchcha’ Delhi 4 in deep depression, inconsolable. I can bet my (used) Dunhill briar Delhi 4 will now prop up Advani.”

“Delhi 4” was described as a “concept” to mean the BJP’s dominant cabal, but that it comprised Sushma, Jaitley, M. Venkaiah Naidu and Ananth Kumar was known to the party because the same journalist had liberally used the phrase at the height of the power struggle in 2009-10 before the RSS stepped in and nominated Nitin Gadkari as party president.

So how did the BJP perceive Modi’s role after the Supreme Court ruling?

While Prasad emphasised that he was “already an important national leader”, some sources listed the pros and cons of projecting him as the party’s central face.

“If you take a straw poll of our cadres, 10 out of 10 will root for Modi. They see him as uncompromised, clean and incorruptible. They are not concerned about the cases he’s fighting. Advaniji, too, has been named in the Babri case. Did that prevent him from becoming the deputy Prime Minister?” asked an Uttar Pradesh leader.

A couple of weeks ago CBI has (officially) said there is no evidence in seven terror cases (all Hindus). Pretty much the 7 cases are the ones that were attributed to Hindu terror including Sadhvi Pragya and Samjhauta blasts. In less than a month they will all be released.

Yes to all. Sonia and her gang are keeping them in with zero evidence. Because it is poll time, CBI announced it ahead of the polls so that they don't get into trouble. Expect heads to roll very soon.
Unfortunately I did not save the link. It was in MSM. try Google.
The amount of hatred this Sonia witch has on Hindus is unbelievable.

Irrespective of whether BJP gets majority on its own or not, it is better to keep BJD/AIADMK in good humour. Those states are fertile for further BJP growth, and these parties are pretty much anti-cong. For BJD, cong is the main opposition. Their MPs in rajya sabha will also be valuable when required.

CSDS is a post-poll as opposed to exit poll.

Exit poll is done by pollsters who ask the choice of voters while exiting polling booths after voting - so the sample is random but may not be representative of the society of that polling booth/constituency & hence not very robust.

While on the other hand post poll is a robust method because it randomly chooses representative voters from the electoral rolls & then go to their homes to ask them to whom they have voted. Here vote share calculation will be very accurate & representative. The only problem will be during vote share to seat share conversion. This is where First Past Post System (FPPS) complicates the calculations especially when the fight is triangular or quadrangular. So the vote share to seat share calculation in bipolar contest states like Guj, MP, CG, Raj, MH, AP, Kerala will be much easier & accurate than in multipolar contest states like UP, Bihar, Orissa, WB, TN etc.

Once the results are out you can observe this by yourselves.

This time even NDTV went with post-poll methodology rather than exit-poll methodology. Post-poll methodology can be conservative and can err more on upper side than on lower side. If CSDS-IBN & NDTV-Hansa are giving 280 seats to NDA, it means if it made an error on lower side NDA will still get 260-270 seats but if it made an error on upper side, NDA can easily go up to 320 or more.
