Here Are State-Wise Exit Poll Predictions:
West Bengal Exit Poll Result 2026
With major pollsters predicting the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC)'s defeat, it seems that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may finally win the fortress, which it has been hankering to win for a long time. If projections come true, Mamata's 15-year-long dominance will come to an end, and a new chapter of the BJP will begin, as the saffron party has never won the state.
The Jagran Maha Poll projected a hung assembly with the TMC and the BJP likely to get 143 seats each. While other may win 8 constituencies.

Tamil Nadu Exit Poll Result 2026
The pollsters predicted that the Chief Minister MK Stalin-led DMK may retain power in Tamil Nadu. Usually, the southern state sees a power rotation between the DMK and AIADM, but this time it seems that Stalin may get success to save his chair. The state saw a direct fight between the DMK-Congress alliance and the opposition AIADMK-led NDA coalition. Pollsters said the entry of actor-turned-politician Vijay's TVK may have dented the opposition's poll prospects.
