Tamil Nadu elections are barely three months from now, and the stage is being firmly prepared for the same as multiple parties are heading into a battle. The interesting thing here is that Tamil superstar, Thalapathy Vijay is going to surprise everyone, going by the early survey reports.

A fresh opinion poll released by Vote Vibe on national media channel News18 has stirred political conversations in Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. According to the survey, the ruling DMK led alliance holds a narrow edge with 36 percent voter support.

However, the gap appears far from comfortable as the NDA is close behind at 34 percent, suggesting a potentially tight electoral battle if the numbers translate into actual votes.

Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam is emerging as a significant force, securing 19 percent in the poll. Though still behind the two major alliances, this share indicates that the party could play a decisive role in shaping the final outcome, especially if it draws young and first time voters.

Political observers believe that TVK’s rise may fragment traditional vote banks and complicate alliance arithmetic. This is a surprisingly big number for Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay, who is contesting in his first ever election

Meanwhile, other parties together account for 6.5 percent, reflecting limited but potentially crucial influence in closely contested constituencies. About 5 percent of respondents remain undecided, leaving enough room for shifts as campaigning intensifies.

Overall, the poll points to a competitive political landscape rather than a one sided contest. With alliances yet to fully solidify and campaigns still evolving, voter sentiment could change in the coming months, making Tamil Nadu one of the most closely watched states in the 2026 election cycle.
