New Delhi: An opinion poll conducted by ABP-CVoter on Chhattisgarh Assembly polls is out on ABP Live. The opinion poll tried to gauge the mood of the state on pertinent questions on matters that would impact the voters' lives.
According to the survey, the incumbent Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel emerged as the most favored candidate for the top post, securing a significant lead of more than 25 percentage points over his BJP counterpart, Raman Singh.
While CM Baghel received the support of 48% of the participants, three-time CM Singh was backed by only 23% of the voters. Chhattisgarh Deputy CM T.S. Singh Deo, who lost the race for the top post to Baghel in the first term, came in third with the backing of just 19% of the respondents.
BJP's Ramesh Bias came in the fourth spot with only 1.2 % of the total votes polled in the survey.
The voter satisfaction level in the state regarding CM Baghel's performance was also positive. As many as 46% of the respondents said that they were "very much satisfied" with his work, while 31% said that they were "satisfied to some extent". The percentage of people saying that they were "not at all satisfied" with CM Baghel's performance was 19%, while 2% remained uncertain about their response.
Election to the 90-seat Chhattisgarh assembly is likely to take place later this year. Notably, BJP has already released its first list of 21 candidates.
The party fielded Vijay Baghel, who is an MP from Durg, from Patan, where he will take on sitting chief minister Bhupesh Baghel.
