Re: Exit Polls & Discussion 2014 Elections
Largely a result of early Gandhian-Nehruvian politics in Bihar+UP. Their early betrayal at the hands of the Allahabad clique+some previous traditional monk/religious-sectarian movements, always made them ripe for distrusting further north/western forces. Any such forces. They have had a tricky relationship with Muslim groupings, and all is not all that hunky dory. Its just an alliance of convenience, based on that regional distrust of Delhi - and felt need to have a block based on local identities. Same as in Bengal.Singha wrote:total demolition job in UP by Namo & Amit shah if this comes true

JP's uneasy relations with Gandhi+Nehru, made him look for cross community alliances, which given our intellectual propensities took the form of super-subtle ideological shenanigans, that takes a life of its own - even if it was just rhetorical in intent and completely insincere in its political motives.
Its the senior Yadavs [senior in sense of established networks in power] + Muslim topcats - each threatened by the pan-Indian nature of the coming wave [not Namo but the force that made NM possible from people's side]. The lower younger orders are already drifting in predictable directions. Muslims towards mughalistan. Yadavas to saffron. A small section will join the naxals - but of course from the "Hindu" side.

Re: Exit Polls & Discussion 2014 Elections
They were mentioning that they had an exit poll where people press a button (on a phone?) for their favoured parties (the new method was to ensure that even the person collecting the sample would not know which button the voter had pressed). Voters were not requested to tell the sample collector their choice. From the method, it appears to me that it was a telephonic survey (where you press buttons on a phone). But I don't recall it being specifically mentioned.muraliravi wrote:Did they say telephonic or field?Raja wrote:NDTV claimed that their sample size of > 100K. Not bad.

Lok Sabha Exit and Post Poll - Methodologymuraliravi wrote:Did they say telephonic or field?Raja wrote:NDTV claimed that their sample size of > 100K. Not bad.
The "Exit Poll" analysis and forecasts are based on combining two separate survey methodologies: i) Polling Booth surveys ii) Post Poll Household surveys.
1. Polling Booth Exit Polls: a sample size 63740 voters - involves randomly selecting polling booths across the country and as voters emerge from these polling booths a randomised selection of voters are questioned on which party they voted for.
2. Post Poll Exit Polls: a sample size of 91712 voters.
The fieldwork and the tabulation for the Polling Booth Exit Polls and the Post Poll Exit Polls was carried out by Hansa Research.
Overview: Exit Polls were conducted at polling booths on election days. Voters were interviewed as they came out of polling booths. Interviewers were asked to interview every fifth voter and ask him to indicate the candidate/party for which he had voted.
Constituencies Covered: The Exit Polls covered 265 constituencies across 19 major states. The proportion of constituencies covered was higher in states where major political changes had happened. Nearly all Parliamentary constituencies were covered in states like AP / Telengana, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Delhi. Parliamentary Constituencies chosen for the Exit Polls were representative of the socio-political regions within the state.
OVERALL SUMMARY OF ALL OPINION POLLS
Pre Election Polls Sample Size (in 2 phases): 90,339
Pre Election update Polls sample Size: 14722
Pre Election Telephonic Re-contact Sample Size : 18324 over the duration of polling
Post Election Exit Polls Sample Size: 63740

Based on the first 30 minutes of the NDTV exit poll show that I watched, I would not say that they were particularly brownnosing dynasty. They had a healthy discussion about how the dynasty politics is killing Congress. Also, the panelists seemed to agree that there was a definite Modi factor. Accordingly, I would have to disagree with some of the remarks being made in this thread.
Re: Exit Polls & Discussion 2014 Elections
They got 36.4% in 98, and got 60/85 seats, but they had got all 5 seats in Uttarakhand. Out of the 80 in present UP, BJP had got 52, and their allies had got 3. If BJP actually hits 40% of the vote, except for some Muslim strongholds in the west (Bijnor, Rampur, Moradabad, Sambhal) and Yadav strongholds in the centre (Kannauj, Etawah, Mainpuri, and maybe Firozabad), BJP can expect to win everything else of significance. Four seats in particular are what I would call intensity markers (can be used to determine the intensity of the NaMo wave). If anyone can post ground information of Phulpur, Budaun, Jaunpur and Gonda, please do so. These four are really hard seats for the BJP, and except for Gonda (which has changed a bit post-delimitation), the BJP has never won these. If anyone can tell us the ground situation for the BJP here, we will be in a good way to understanding how the BJP is doing here.muraliravi wrote:So more than one poll is giving bjp 40% in UP.

RrNDTV still had N Ram and Sudheendra Kulkarni as `independent experts' in their talk show. Another independent expert was that rumour mongering lad Shekhar Gupta.

There are 3 ways to look at it,SaiK wrote:http://www.epw.in/election-specials/sta ... polls.html

1. Surveys generally overestimate BJP, which will lead to the conclusion that BJP will end up at 190 and NDA at 230, instead of the 235 for BJP and 280 for NDA being predicted.
2. Surveys got it totally wrong in 2004. They improved in 2009 and got the wind direction right, but failed to gauge the intensity of the wind. This will lead to the conclusion that BJP will do even better than the predictions.
3. Ignore all surveys, follow the only survey that has gotten all elections correct from 2004 (including 2004 LS) which is Chanakya and start celebrating, because if they are again correct, then OMG
Re: Exit Polls & Discussion 2014 Elections
I'm not sure whether to view this as a case of overestimating one party over the other. I also find it hard to directly correlate results from previous elections as a basis to make assertions about this one. For example, neither UPA-1 nor NDA was as unpopular as UPA-2 is today. The socio-economic circumstances are also wildly different, as is the voting demographic. For probably the first time, the 18-35 demographic was the majority of the voters. When we talk about our demographic dividend, this is part of it.
The themes surrounding this election also puts the final nail in the coffin of the 'economic development is not politically beneficial' argument. I would argue that as late as till 2009, the question of development remained a question - i.e. what is more politically important, growth or redistribution ? Until this election, I believe the answer was not clearly the former. The UPA-1's redistributive policies benefited it politically in 2009. In 2014, people are also largely familiar with the costs of that redistribution, having seen growth-oriented and redistribution-oriented policies at work.
In 1996 and 2004, growth-oriented governments fell because there wasn't sufficient support yet for growth over redistribution. That's why 'aam aadmi ko kya hua' was actually politically useful in 2004. If the results in this election follow exit poll trends, we're looking at the aam aadmi clearly supporting growth ten years after that election. 1999 on the other hand was most comparable to 1971 - a post war election. 2014 should therefore be compared to a prior election where an incumbent is largely unpopular and the opposition is galvanized around another political option. The closest, but not exact, analogy is 1977.
How does this translate to polling ? I believe that at least until 2004, localized voting preferences dominated the themes of the elections, so any effort to convert voteshare to seats was fraught with localized factors. In 2004, the overall ELM talk about growth did not percolate down sufficiently to a voting population who still favored redistribution. 2009 was more of the same - the policies initiated after 2004 had generated benefits, but the costs were not yet apparent. I find it very hard to understand why a 2009 UPA win was in doubt; they had 8.5% growth AND a huge populist dole program running. Post 2008, the costs have piled up, and in 2014, there's a fairly clear picture in everyone's mind about whether redistribution works.
My own estimate as a result is that equivalent or higher voteshare than 1999 should generate an even better seat conversion ratio than back then, because at that time the localized seatwise voteshare division was more pronounced, while it was less so this time around, based primarily on stopping the BJP and not intrinsic desires of the voters at large (except arguably for the Muslim community). People ultimately vote for what they seek, not for a party's compulsions regarding an opponent.
