Differing opinion polls ?
Found two opinion polls on the net for Uttarakhand Polls :
First is : http://itvnewsindia.com/opinion-poll-%E2%80%93-uttarakhand
Second is : http://www.newsbullet.in/india/34-more/24967-STAR%20News%20Opinion%20Poll:%20Cong%20wins%20Punjab,%20BJP%20in%20%20Uttarakhand
"In Uttrakhand, where BJP had 35 seats in the outgoing house, is increasing its tally to 39. This is against expectations that the party would do badly in face of serious charges of corruption against the government and the party had to replace the chief minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank with Gen BS Khanduri. Though Congress is getting only 29 seats, it is still up from its last time’s tally of 21."
