What Bihar Exit Polls Are Saying

Each of the 13 exit polls predicted a win for the NDA. The most emphatic are Today's Chanakya and CNX - each believes the BJP-JDU will win 150+ seats and the RJD-Congress less than 90. Axis My India, meanwhile, went (almost) the other way. The BJP-JDU will still win, its numbers said, but possibly by as few as three seats. Vote Vibe and Chanakya Strategies also predicted close contests, but with the BJP-JDU winning each time. ‘Deliberate Delays Likely in Counting Tomorrow’, Says RJD Leader Tejashwi Yadav Ahead of Bihar Assembly Election Results 2025 (Watch Video).
