New Delhi sources have stated that Past the three year mark as Prime Minister, Narendra Modi continues to retain his popularity according to a survey by the Pew Research Center + that says nine out of 10 respondents hold a favorable opinion of the leader and approve of how the country is doing. Meanwhile a survey of 2,464 respondents during February 21 to March 10 this year found that Modi enjoys stronger support in south India, where 95% of the respondents were favorably disposed as opposed to only 4% who disapproved.
Moreover the figures were high across the country with as many as 88% supporting the Prime Minister. Modi's lowest ratings are for handling of communal relations, at 50%, and for his efforts towards curbing air pollution, at 48%. Women are particularly critical of how he has dealt with communal relations, as are people in north India. Rural Indians are less supportive than those in urban areas of his handling of both communal relations and air pollution.
Furthermore India in rural areas (63%) is more
supportive of Congress than those in cities (51%). The survey said 85% of those
surveyed trust the government to do what is right for India while 79% are
satisfied with the way democracy is working in India. Accordingly Rural Indians
view the PM's handling of corruption less favorably than city dwellers.
