On the other hand, Bhupesh Baghel is preferred by 14% of voters and T S Singh Deo by 4% of them. Over one-third of those wanting Ajit Jogi as the next CM is currently planning to vote for Congress, while some of them may well switch to JCC when the voting day comes. Two of every five Congress voters like Ajit Jogi a lot and nearly half like him somewhat. The voters have meanwhile, rated Chhattisgarh government positive on important governance parameters except for communal harmony, water supply and safety of women. According to the survey, the anti-incumbency sentiment is stronger than earlier elections but is getting split. JCC-BSP will take away one-fifth of the anti-incumbency vote thus preventing a consolidation around Congress.

JCC-BSP alliance may well inflict further damage to Congress in the days ahead. Congress voters seem to be far more attracted to the JCC-BSP alliance than BJP voters. In the 2013 elections, the BJP had won 49 seats while the Congress got 39. The BSP got one seat. Confident of the party's victory for the fourth consecutive term, current Chhatishgarh CM Raman Singh said that there is a "pro-incumbency" wave in the state on the basis of the work his government has done in the agriculture sector and for the effective functioning of the public distribution system.#ABPOpinionPoll - Chhattisgarh: BJP is pegged to clinch 56 seats (+7).
