As exit polls pour in following the second and final phase of the Bihar Assembly Election 2025, the political landscape looks increasingly intriguing. While most surveys give the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) a clear edge, one outlier poll has stirred the political conversation, projecting a comfortable win for the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance).
Journo Mirror Changes The Equation
According to the Journo Mirror exit poll, the Grand Alliance could secure 130–140 seats, while the NDA may be limited to 100–110 seats. The findings sharply contrast with nearly all other surveys, suggesting that voters may be leaning toward change this election season.
Most Polls Still Show NDA Ahead
However, exit polls conducted by major agencies, including P-Marq, Peoples Pulse, DV Research, Matrize-IANS, Chanakya, Poll Diary, and Praja Poll Analytics, paint a different picture. Most of them predict the NDA crossing the majority mark or coming very close to it, estimating 130 to 209 seats for the alliance, while the Grand Alliance is projected to bag anywhere between 32 and 108 seats.
