ABP-C-Voter Survey
However, according to the ABP-C-Voter opinion poll, Congress is still leading the race in the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections, despite a strong campaign by the BJP.
The poll predicts that the Congress will likely win between 110 to 122 seats out of the 224-member assembly, which is below the required number of 113 seats to form a simple majority government.
The BJP, on the other hand, is expected to win between 73 and 85 seats, which is a significant drop from the 104 seats it won in the 2018 Assembly elections.
The Congress is also poised to have the highest vote share of 40.2%, up from 38% in the previous polls, while the BJP is likely to retain its vote share of 36%.
