The Lalu Prasad Yadav-led RJD is expected to continue its bad run there with the survey predicting only 2-6 seats for it.

In UP, which is touted to be the deciding state for the BJP by poll pundits in the 2014 elections, the survey said the SP is expected to bag around 11 to 17 seats while the BJP is expected to bag 8-14 seats.
The Congress, the survey predicts, is expected to get only 5 to 9 seats as against the 21 it bagged there in last elections.
In both the states, the survey suggests that Narendra Modi is the most favoured leader for being the Prime Minister with more than 30 per cent people supporting him.
