The state-wise breakup of the projected seats are as follow :

All in all, the NDA is projected to win 335 seats if the elections were to be held today, just 1 seat less than in 2014. The NDA is expected to make up for its losses in the HIndi Belt with the gains it is expected to make in Eastern States and in Karnataka. The C-Voter Poll also remarks that 66% of the voters prefer Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of the country while only 28% of the voters want Rahul Gandhi to lead the nation. Therefore, if the NDA could again transform the battle for 2019 as a head to head war between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, its return to power is relatively assured.
