Exit Polls vs Results: How Predictions Went Wrong in Bihar Elections 2015 and 2020

Exit polls have often struggled to capture the political mood of Bihar, and the 2015 and 2020 Assembly elections were clear examples of that.

In the 2020 Bihar elections, most exit polls predicted a narrow win for the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, estimating around 125 seats for the alliance and 108 for the NDA. The majority mark in the 243-member assembly is 122. However, when results were announced, the outcome flipped, the NDA secured 125 seats while the Mahagathbandhan finished with 110. A few agencies like Patriotic Voter, P-Marq, and ABP News-CVoter came close to the actual result, while News18-Today’s Chanakya missed the mark by a wide margin, predicting only 55 seats for the NDA and 180 for the Mahagathbandhan.

The 2015 elections told a different story. That year, the RJD-JD(U)-Congress alliance went up against the BJP-led coalition. Exit polls then forecast a tight race, giving Mahagathbandhan 123 seats and NDA 114 on average. But when the votes were counted, the grand alliance swept the polls, winning 178 seats against NDA’s 58.

Among the agencies, CNN-IBN-Axis was the most accurate, projecting 176 seats for the Mahagathbandhan and 64 for the NDA.
