The exit poll results for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, conducted by VoteVibe for CNN-News18, suggest a competitive electoral landscape. The AIADMK+ alliance is projected to win between 114 and 124 seats, surpassing the DMK+ alliance's expected 103 to 113 seats. This slight lead in seat projections is complemented by a marginal vote share advantage, with AIADMK+ at 39.9% and DMK+ at 38.9%. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is emerging as a significant third force, potentially securing 4 to 10 seats. Demographic trends indicate that AIADMK+ leads among male voters, while DMK+ has a slight advantage among female voters. Concerns over unemployment and inflation dominate voter sentiment, with both issues cited by nearly 18% of respondents. The final results, expected on May 4, will reveal whether the projected advantage translates into a decisive victory for AIADMK+ or a closely contested outcome.
