On the eve of the fourth anniversary of UPA-II, opinion polls have not brought any cheer to the government, predicting slide in the ruling alliance’s tally amid dissatisfaction among large sections of urban voters over its performance.
Headlines Today-CVoter opinion poll predicted that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA)’s tally was set to crash by 95 in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. However, it said the biggest surprise was that the UPA’s loss is not automatically translating to big gains for the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
‘The lion’s share of the seats would, in fact, be cornered by smaller parties which have not yet disclosed their cards. While this alternative front looks set to bag as many as 68 more seats, the NDA might just add 27 more seats to its 2009 tally,’ it said.
CNN-IBN Urban India opinion poll showed that people were largely dissatisfied with the UPA-II government and a majority believed that it does not deserve another term to rule.
According to a press release, the CNN-IBN survey indicated that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was facing a serious credibility crisis as his honest image has taken a beating in view of the present scams and controversies surrounding UPA-II government. He is being perceived as a person who is not bold or tough in taking decisions, showed the opinion poll.
‘Among the respondents more than half (56 percent) are dissatisfied with the present term of the UPA government. Two-thirds of the respondents (67 percent) feel that the government has lost its credibility,’ the release said.
The opinion poll said the prime minister’s performance in the second term was rated as poor by more than half of the respondents and over a majority (61 percent) of respondents felt he should be replaced. Price rise closely followed by corruption are the seen as the biggest failures of the government.
‘As the UPA-II government is set to complete four years, the people feel the present government is weak and lacks the courage to take decisions. The people also feel that there is a rise in corruption in last one year,’ the release said.
The CNN-IBN survey said that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was the most preferred leader to become the next prime minister, with maximum support from the respondents, more than twice that of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi or Manmohan Singh.
Gauging the impact of Modi in 2014, the Headlines Today-C Voter opinion poll suggested that projecting Modi as the NDA’s candidate for PM will lead to gains for the UPA, but it will almost double the advantage for the NDA.
