Sundar, that's not what CNN-IBN data showed. The 33% who were open to reconsider their voting were mostly past voters of the BJP and the JD(S).

Read it again carefully. There is no reference for BJP or JD(S) voters.It is overall figure. CNN-IBn has not done this survey at such micro-level at this stage.
Simple logic: Had these 33% voters were of BJP and JD(s) , contest wouldnot have open as suggested by CNN-IBN itelf.
Here lies the text -------------------------------------- The opinion poll also suggests the BJP does not appear to have gained much from the voters%u2019 sympathy at the way its government was brought down. However, over 33 per cent of the electorate stated they were still undecided about their voting preferences, indicating the contest is still open ------------------------------------

Not suggestive. To determine swings, surveys has their samples who they voted last time round.
Since most of these voters voted last time for BJP or JD(S), then this means trouble for both these parties. Past analysis of daya shows that these undecided voters usually vote more or less the same way as the decided sections

1. How can you refer these 33 percent voters as BJP JD-S voters?.Where is the reference in survey/report which says that 33 percent of past BJP , JD-S voters have yet to decide. 2. Why Survey is saying : indicating the contest is still open: Why survey is talking about OPEN when it is clear that Congress is clear cut gainer .
