India Today-Karvy Insights Mood of the Nation (MOTN) poll shows that the BJP is going to need every one of these disgruntled allies and more if it has to get a simple majority in 2019.
Yet, in spite of the attrition of allies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains head and shoulders above other leaders: 49 per cent of the respondents feel he is best suited to be the next prime minister. What is worrying for the BJP, however, is that our poll shows Rahul Gandhi closing in. With 27 per cent of the respondents endorsing the Congress president for the post of PM, the gap between him and Prime Minister Modi has narrowed to just 22 percentage points, from 55 percentage points in January 2017.
