    Yesterday Union Minister Kapil Sibal said " Pre poll predictions has to be stopped as it affects the mind frame of the Voter. There is a claim that the Voters Come to predetermined Conclusion Even before entering into the Voting Booth and This affects their Voting Style"

    Should this be stopped.

    What is your take on this topic?

    Most of the pre poll predictions done by some channels have been nearly 100% accurate So should this be stopped.

    Of course not. Congress is just finding it hard to believe that they won't come into power the next polls. All their dirty little secrets have created problems for the country in all the aspects. Also they are trying to demolish anything coming in their way and they dont care if what they speak is pure shit.

    Pre-Election Predictions are being done since decades. It was done in 2004 and 2009 itself. why does it seem to bother now. they are acting like britishers in Indian clothes. Atleast the british were true to what they were doing. They accepted all their mistakes and made alterations in their policy whenever required. The current government is worse.

    Taking a single stand is not the main objective of the topic

    Do you think the population as a mass is brain washed by these predictions ? as Mr. Sibal claims

    These predictions are meant to reflect the popularity index in relation with the work done. It takes into consideration the quantifiable work done in sectors by different parties/MLAs/MPs and puts them through in an index. Then justifies their predictions. If Mr. Sibal thinks it is brainwashing masses, he is brainwashed himself I guess. This is just another political stunt because in all the predictions, UPA doesn't stand a chance. Some even claim that NDA will come into power with record seats. So this is just another political show by Mr. Sibbal. If he thinks they are brainwashing the masses, then he should have better worked towards development rather than criticizing the media system.

    This poll prediction system has both pros and cons but we want to consider the better one.As conqueror said people want to come to vote booth in a preset mind.#-Link-Snipped-# do you want people want to come to vote booth without a clear idea on his decision.Poll prediction creates inferiority complex between the parties and stir more tense admist the people on results of election because parties tend to attack the people only.😭

    I never said that poll prediction must be stopped. It is completely necessary. It is exactly the report card of the political parties reflected in audits. When the real poll results come out, it is taken into consideration the pre poll predictions and the after poll results. It is complete strategy management.

    Let me talk it otherwise Do you think the mentality of the entire state be fixed by the random answers of 1000 people in a place

    This format is not upto the level in pre poll predictions. But avoiding it is like bull shit.

    It is one way a party can get themselves some name without actually having to pay anything for the canvasing

    And by the way we all know that each and every party has its own tv channel and newspaper and they use the poll prediction to induce a false image/illusion to people on the winners.Whats your take on this?

    Really true 1000 people don't represent a state or a large metro The way a sample is surveyed becomes a prime role in these predictions

    But In my knowledge some english channels predicted the results really accurately last polls in AP, TN and many other state. So what is your take.

    Some TV are not party oriented can be trusted to an extent I am not sure about how their higher ends work in reality

    The popularity of regional channels are a bane to poll predictions Mate. I have personally not read any predictions by local TV till date as we know what they will say
