1. Congress has a 10% lead over the BJP and expected to have more than a comfortable majority. (Cong 41%, BJP 30.5%, JD(S) 22.5)
2. Though the state appear to have a multi-polar contest among Cong, BJP and JD(S), in majority of seats, effectively it is a a bi-polar fight that puts BJP into a disadvantage. The JD(S) trailing the BJP by 7% vote share, may end up close to the seat tally of the BJP as their votes are concentrated giving them a higher strike rate.
3. The BJP is poised to be decimated in Bangalore and suffer major losses in the coastal belt. In North Karnataka, the BJP holds the edge but expected to suffer minor erosion in its vote share. There is evidence that the Lingayat base of the BJP showing signs of strain.
4. The share of other parties like SP, JD(U), BSP comes down to around 6-7%.

Narinder Modi nicknamed in this forum by some of his detracters as Gay Modi arrived in Karkala for a campaign meeting yesterday. He drew poor crowds and poorer response to his speech so much so he uncharacteristically stammered often to be nicknamed as Veerendra (Moily)!

CNN IBN has alliance with whom???? The whole nation knows!!! BTW, is this the same CNN IBN, which predicted that Modi will be bashed left-right-and-centre during the assembly elections in Gujarat? There is no fun in CNN IBN relieving itself of a fart, while sitting inside a swimming pool full of water!!!
