New Delhi, Nov 16: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "by far" the most popular
leader in Indian politics and most Indians hold a favourable opinion of
him.
And many are content with the state of the economy and the country’s direction. These are some of the main findings of a Pew Research Center survey conducted
among 2,464 respondents in India from Feb. 21 to March 10, 2017. "Three years into Modi’s five-year tenure, the honeymoon period for his
administration may be over but the public’s love affair with current conditions
in India is even more intense. Nearly nine-in-ten Indians hold a favorable opinion of Modi, comparable to
their view of him in 2015, after a year in office. Roughly seven-in-ten say
they have a very favorable view of the prime minister, again similar to public
views in 2015," Pew says. Modi’s overwhelming popularity extends across India. The Washington-based fact tank said the people's "positive
assessment" of Modi is buoyed by "growing contentment" with the
Indian economy: more than eight-in-ten say economic conditions are
"good", up 19 percentage points since immediately before the 2014
election. Overall, seven-in-ten Indians are now satisfied with the way things are going
in the country. This positive assessment of India’s direction has nearly
doubled since 2014. The Indian public, happy with its prime minister, believes the national
government is doing the right thing for the country. UNI
