The sample size of the opinion poll is 1 lakh 5 thousand, and the state has been split into three regions- Majha, Doaba, and Malwa.
According to the opinion poll done by Zee News, Charanjit Singh Channi, the current chief minister of Punjab, has emerged as the top preference of the people when it comes to choosing their future CM. The total popularity percentage of CM Channi is 31 percent.

Punjab Election 2022 Opinion Poll: CM preference of the people
- Charanjit Singh Channi (Congress): 31 percent
- Bhagwant Mann (AAP): 24 percent
- Sukhbir Singh Badal; (SAD): 22 percent
- Arvind Kejriwal (AAP): 11 percent
- Captain Amarinder Singh (BJP+): 7 percent
- Navjot Singh Sidhu (Congress): 4 percent
There is overwhelming support for Channi in Punjab despite being the Chief Minister of the state for only three months. Meanwhile, the popularity of Captain Amarinder Singh, former CM, and Congress leader have dropped by a significant amount.
It is expected that a huge percentage of Dalit voters in Punjab will support Channi in the upcoming elections in the state since he is the first Dalit chief minister of Punjab. Despite the Congress leader’s popularity quotient, AAP candidate Bhagwant Mann is expected to give the former a run for his money in the elections.
The Punjab assembly elections 2022 are expected to commence from February 20, 2022, in a single phase. The voting will be conducted in February for 117 seats, while the counting of the votes will be done on March 10.
