The Surveys That Confusing AP Voters!

Political parties heading for the Assembly and general polls in different states are heavily depending on various surveys both to boost the morale of their cadre and also influence the electorate. In the information-rich age, political parties are increasingly depending on social media and surveys to express their opinions and target their rivals in the political landscape.

In a recent survey held by Times Now, it was reported that none could stop the YSR Congress from registering a thumping victory. The survey revealed that the YCP would secure 50% vote share which would enable it to win 24-25 Lok Sabha seats.

In another survey conducted by the Poll Strategy Group, it was stated that the YSRC is likely to win 49% votes, TDP-JSP alliance 41% votes which means that the YSRC would certainly have an edge over the latter and win over them. Some other survey reports said that there is no chance for the TDP-JSP alliance to withstand in the heavy winds of the fan, which is the YSRC political symbol.

While the survey reports brag about a sure shot victory, the cadre is found to be lacking the spirit matching the prediction.

TDP alleges that, The Times Now report, it is being said, is in favour of the YCP government because of the pact between the AP and the media organisation signed to elevate the image of the party in the media.

Meanwhile, in another survey held by India TV-CNX, it was predicted that there would a significant improvement in the performance of the TDP.

Though the report said that the YSRC would win 46% of the vote share and win 15 Lok Sabha seats in upcoming general elections, it also mentioned that the TDP would bag 42% vote share and win 10 Lok Sabha seats. It may be recalled in 2019, the TDP just won 3 MP seats and did not enjoy any significant say in the Parliament.

Irrespective of the survey report, the TDP cadre is heavily banking on the sympathy factor following the ‘illegal arrest’ of their party supremo.

Now, with different survey organisations releasing reports favouring various political parties, the electorate is being throw into a confusion and wondering which of them could be believed or if all of them are fake.

Just as several media is allegedly divided over support to political parties, now we are able to witness survey organisations also taking sides!
