In anticipation of the forthcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh, ABP News teamed up with CVoter to conduct an opinion poll aiming to provide insights into the prevailing public sentiment in the state.

As the political landscape heats up in Andhra Pradesh, the stage is set for a three-cornered contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Led by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) is gearing up to defend its dominance, facing stiff competition from the newly formed alliance between Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Jana Sena Party led by Pawan Kalyan. Adding a new dimension to the electoral fray is YS Sharmila-led state Congress promising to shake up the status quo.

In anticipation of the forthcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh, ABP News teamed up with CVoter to conduct a comprehensive opinion poll aiming to provide insights into the prevailing public sentiment in the state.

Based on the findings of the ABP-CVoter Opinion poll, it's projected that the NDA will secure a substantial 45% share of the vote, closely followed by the YSR Congress, which is anticipated to garner 42% of the vote share. The poll also suggests that the I.N.D.I.A bloc might get 3% of the vote share.

In terms of seat allocation, the NDA is likely to emerge victorious in 20 constituencies while YSR Congress is expected to win in 5 seats.

Till now, TDP-BJP-Janasena alliance has unveiled its electoral strategy. Naidu disclosed that the TDP would contest 17 seats with BJP and Pawan Kalyan's Janasena contesting six and two seats respectively in the state.

There were several significant developments ahead of Lok Sabha polls including YS Sharmila, sister of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, announcing the merger of YSR Telangana Party with Congress in New Delhi. Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, also recently walked out of Rajamahendravaram Central Jail on health grounds after 53 days of arrest in connection with the multi-crore skill development corporation scam case.

The 2019 Lok Sabha elections witnessed a landslide victory for YSRCP securing 22 out of 25 seats leaving TDP with a meager three seats. Notably, both BJP and Congress failed to make any significant impact in the state highlighting the electorate's preference for regional parties.
