A Times Now-IPSOS survey on Monday, 3 February, predicted a victory for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, saying that the ruling party is likely to win 54-60 seats of the 70-member Assembly.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is being considered the AAP’s main rival in most constituencies, has been predicted to win 10-14 seats, with the Congress’ tally pegged at 0-2 seats.

The survey pegged the Congress’ tally at 0-2 seats.
The vote-share for the AAP, BJP and Congress is predicted to be around 52 percent, 34 percent and 4 percent, respectively.

The IPSOS survey had a sample size of 7,321 respondents selected randomly from across Delhi. Samples were collected between 27 January and 1 February across socio-economic strata. The statistical margin of error in the poll is 5 percent.

On Anti-CAA Protest & Shaheen Bagh

With a score of BJP leaders and ministers successfully managing to make the anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh the party’s poll plank, 71 percent of those surveyed supported the central government’s Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

When asked about the Shaheen Bagh blockade over the anti-CAA protests, 52 percent stood against it and called it ‘unjustified’, while 25 percent thought the protests were justified. Another 24 percent did not express any opinion on the issue.

The survey seems to suggest that the chatter on the Shaheen Bagh protest won’t translate into votes for the BJP.
