Although this survey has huge number of flaws but results favor Congress clearly.
Well known Telugu regional news channel N Tv has combinely done a survey with internationally reputed NIELSEN-ORG MARG in the state of AP to know about the pulse of voters. According to their methodology, they have selected nearly 300 voters from every assembly seat and parliament seat to take their opinion about various parties and their voting patterns. On analysis of these votings, they have declared the results in N Tv today.
But the biggest flaw among these results is that, this survey has been done in the month of February even before the election dates were out and candidates from the parties were not even declared. It is perfect that, surveys which are done just 2 weeks before the elections fetch good reports. NIELSEN ORG MARG Survey was able to provide correct reports in last three general elections only by taking the samples just 2 weeks before the elections.
Although this projection may not be clearly applicable to the period of elections, but results are surely favouring Congress and shows a edge.
