The CNN-IBN Exit Poll - Praja Rajyam - Chiranjeevi

The news is out that the CNN-IBN survey has placed Prajarajyam party of chiranjeevi would get very minimal percentage of approval and hence loose the elections badly.

Let have a look at the history of success of CNN-IBN survey results. They predicted Karnataka Assembly Elections of 2008 would have Congress as the clear cut winner. Here are the results of the actual election.

Karnataka Election Results 08
Elections Result on May 25, 2008
Information Available: - 224/224

Party Won
BJP 110
INC 80
J.D (Secular) 28
Others 7

Some one made a decent analysis of the survey.

Update : Looks like CNN-IBN survey was indeed right on what it has predicted. A very bad show by Praja Rajayam Party (PRP) indeed. I hope they work in a much strategic stance and do better next time.
