A poll by Axis My India for India Today TV predicts that the BJP will secure a majority by bagging between 206 and 216 seats

An overwhelming 76% of the respondents supported demonetisation 

The ruling Samajwadi Party (in its current avatar) is projected to emerge as the second largest party, bagging between 92-97 seats
