Projections in November:

The pictures in Puducherry where the NDA for the first time made inroads in 2014, seemed to be gloomy for the BJP+ parties where the lone seat is going the UPA way. This pointed that the NDA in Puducherry seemed to be under the anti-incumbency wave

However, looking at the vote share, the NDA, even though projected to lose the seat was seeing a 5.5% increase in vote share as compared to last month, while the UPA which was projected to win the seat is seeing at a fall of 2.1% vote share  

Further looking at the DMK, we see that it had a vote share of 27.4% which is 19.2% higher than 2014 and 3% higher than last month -- This shows that the DMK can play a major role in being the kingmaker if the elections are held today

The results of 2019 Lok Sabha elections may or may not reflect the results or scenarios of the state assembly elections, nevertheless, to establish where we stand at present, Republic TV and CVoter has presented the National Approval Ratings.
