Re: BRF GJP Trial Poll-1: How many seats will NDA win?
I don't want to second-guess the "thread managers", but my suggestion is that people NOT post the "reasoning" behind their assessment.
Re: BRF GJP Trial Poll-1: How many seats will NDA win?
I think its fine and even good for post-mortem after May 16 to also list reasons if we can. Not compulsory but I am encouraging it. There isn't any super-secret stuff that one or a few of us have privy to. In any case, the judges here are a stubborn lot and are not swayed much by others opinions.
Re: BRF GJP Trial Poll-1: How many seats will NDA win?
I upped the vote to 3 times for this week.
Re: BRF GJP Trial Poll-1: How many seats will NDA win?
I think the vote on the top is only vote once (I did that in the beginning). Is there something else we should know? Or are you saying that you scaled it up by a factor of 3 (likely meaning). What's the reason for doing so?ramana wrote:I upped the vote to 3 times for this week.

Based on weakness of UPA. If UPA does badly the seats must go someplace else. Seems like the third front isn't going to be the main beneficiary except where they dominate already (Bengal). And the increase in vote turnout is highly significant and driven by younger demographics. So this is really based on a global pov. Specific recent trends pertain to TN trends and MH trends (notwithstanding voter list mess-ups, discounting EVM conspiracies).
p.s. If I was betting real money I'd hedge across the 281-300 and > 300 categories, 40 vs. 60. Since there is no money but only reputation involved, I can take more risk and hope for more reward.

Week 4, NDA - It will be wave compared 2009, but not as big as we expect. We need to be realistic and Baba Ramdev may have done damage to prevent going over 300.

Week 4

The election is going more or less as expected for us, but I still don't see a blockbuster performance anywhere that will boost pre-poll NDA over ~230 seats.

Re: BRF GJP Trial Poll-1: How many seats will NDA win?
Saral, Does it make sense to run it today itself as the 7th phase concluded on 4/30? And can you graph the previous three rounds? Show the 272 target line horizontal to X-Axis which is the dates or round 1, 2 etc....
Show seats on Y axis. Maybe a bar graph or a line graph upt you.

Re: BRF GJP Trial Poll-1: How many seats will NDA win?
I guess its ok to wait until tomorrow. Maybe we get a few more entries. I see that vijaykarthik has not yet provided his estimate for week4. I can provide median estimates for each week (1-4) and other basic stats as a table with 4 columns. Reserve graphing till its all over (post May 16).

Re: BRF GJP Trial Poll-1: How many seats will NDA win?
So far I have not seen any reason to downgrade my estimates of NDA getting more than 300+. In fact there are few states which where zero in my estimates might get few seats as bonus,: these are AP and WB. However, the undercurrent of voting seems to be Buddhu Vs Modi and People want to see Modi, irrespective of their local candidate, as PM. Only strong opposition candidate might survive the Tsunamo. Now this belieft is primarily based on three factors:
1. Large number of voter additions , mostly first timers , young ones. That is one constituency which NaMo has tried to build up assiduously. Addressed their concerns. Irrespective of their income level ( poor people, lower middle income group from rural hinterland of Bihar and UP have seen what Gujarat means to them, I know this first hand). They would vote keeping aside their caste affiliations.
2. Young professionals and Middle class. They are bearing the brunt of unemployment, low or stagnant wages, high aspirations, higher social status not commensurate with expected earnings, economic policies of UPA. They are hopeful of better opportunities if NaMo comes.
3.Women, for obvious reasons. They would be voting irrespective of castes.
The positive for congis would be Narega but it had negative impact on rural farming practices. So those who could not go out of the villeges and benefited from Narega may actually vote for congis besides menfolks who are not in any one of the productive age group, would vote based on caste affiliations. They are large in numbers yet not large enough now to affect NDA chances.
NAREGA had limited impact on Bihar anyway.
SO after 30th Poll
