New Delhi: With assembly elections in five states just around the corner, ABP and CVoter reached out to the voters of two states — Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan — to find out if they would favor the Congress party contesting the elections with a CM face or BJP contesting the elections without a CM face.


The Election Commission has already announced the schedule for the state legislative elections in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Rajasthan, and Mizoram.


Elections will be held in Mizoram in a single phase on November 7, Madhya Pradesh on November 17, and Rajasthan will go to polls on November 23. The elections in Telangana will be held in a single phase on November 30. Chhattisgarh will hold the elections in two phases – November 7 and 17.


The counting of votes has been scheduled for December 3.


In Rajasthan, where the Congress party is in power, 59.7% of respondents who are BJP supporters voted for the saffron party, 29.6% for Congress, and 40% for others.


Among the Congress supporters, 56.2% voted for the grand old party, 25.8% for BJP, and 50.5% for others.


Among other respondents who are neither actively supporting the BJP nor the Congress, 13.5% voted for the ruling party, 14.5% for the BJP, and 9.5% for others.


In Madhya Pradesh, 53% of BJP supporters voted for the saffron party, 13.8% for Congress, and 34.4% for others. While 72.4% of Congress supporters voted for the party, 29.9% voted for BJP, and 43.4% for others.


Among other respondents who are neither actively supporting the BJP nor the Congress, 17.1% voted for BJP, 13.8% for Congress, and 22.1% for others.


ABP Cvoter also conducted a survey to find out if the BJP would get electoral benefits in Rajasthan by not declaring Vasundhara Raje Scindia as its chief ministerial candidate.


When asked which party would benefit the most, 52.6% of the total people surveyed voted for BJP, 35.2% voted for Congress, and 37.3% voted for other parties.


On the other hand, 48.5% said it would be disadvantageous for Congress, 31% said it wouldn't benefit the BJP, and 49.4% voted for other parties.


[Disclaimer: This survey was based on CVoter personal interviews conducted among 2,649 adults across India. Sometimes the table figures do not sum to 100 due to the effects of rounding off. The margin of error is +/- 3% at the macro level and +/- 5% at the micro level. We believe this will give the closest possible resemblance to the trends.]
