By: Team India Tracker

The INDIA Block dominates among illiterate voters with 49.6% of the vote share, compared to the NDA’s 36.4%, resulting in a -13.2% deficit for the NDA. This reflects the INDIA Block's resonance with economically and socially marginalized groups.

The demographic data from CVoter’s 2024 Jharkhand exit poll reveals intriguing voting patterns across gender and education groups. Among genders, the NDA performs better with male voters, securing 43.4% compared to the INDIA Block’s 39.2%, giving it a 4.2% lead.

The gap narrows significantly among female voters, where the NDA’s 40.6% is only 1.7% ahead of the INDIA Block's 38.9%. This highlights the INDIA Block’s relatively stronger traction among women, suggesting a more competitive gender dynamic.

Education-level analysis shows significant outliers. The INDIA Block dominates among illiterate voters with 49.6% of the vote share, compared to the NDA’s 36.4%, resulting in a -13.2% deficit for the NDA. This reflects the INDIA Block's resonance with economically and socially marginalized groups.

In contrast, the NDA has a clear advantage among voters with higher education. Professionals strongly favor the NDA, which leads with 44.4% against the INDIA Block’s 30.6%, marking its largest demographic advantage of 13.8%. Similarly, the NDA enjoys an 11.5% lead among post-graduates. These trends highlight the NDA’s appeal among more affluent, urban, and educated voters.

At intermediate education levels, such as high school and higher secondary, the competition is closer. The NDA leads by 1.5% and 4%, respectively, in these segments. Among voters with non-formal education, the NDA also maintains a 4.1% lead. Overall, the INDIA Block’s strength among illiterate voters contrasts sharply with the NDA’s dominance among the highly educated and professionals. Coupled with its narrow gender gap, the INDIA Block has an opportunity to further mobilize female and less-educated voters, while the NDA’s focus on urban and educated demographics could shape its electoral strategy.
