New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party is projected to win 37 seats, one seat more than the magical mark of 36 required for majority in the 70-seat Delhi assembly, says the latest India TV-CVoter opinion poll conducted in the fourth week of January.  

The Aam Aadmi Party has been projected to take second position with 28 seats, same as in December 2013, says the opinion poll conducted among 1306 randomly selected respondents.

All these respondents were interviewed in the fourth week of January, says CVoter.

According to CVoter, the Total Tracking Poll CATI Sample Size in January is 8064 randomly selected respondents interviewed between Jan 1 and Jan 28, the margin of error being at plus/minus 3 per cent at state level, and plus/minus 5 percent at regional level.  

The Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years at a stretch, mayl find its tally dwindling from eight last time to five this time, with 'Others' which include small parties and independents, drawing a blank.

In the December 2013 assembly polls, BJP had won 31 seats, AAP 28, Congress 8 and Others 3.

In vote share projections, BJP may get 45 per cent votes, closely followed by AAP with 40 per cent, Congress with 10 per cent, and 'Others' 5 per cent.

In the December 2013 assembly polls, BJP had got 33 per cent votes, followed by AAP with 29 per cent, Congress 25 per cent and 'Others' 13 per cent.

In the popularity stakes, 50 per cent of the respondents described former IPS officer and BJP leader Kiran Bedi as the most preferred candidate to become the next CM, with 47 per cent opting for AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, with remaining 3 per cent undecided.
