An opinion poll conducted by NDTV news channel on Tuesday said Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is the best performing Chief Minister in the last one year with those surveyed giving him 85 per cent, just one per cent higher than Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

NDTV which is perceived as pro-Congress(and some times pro-left) new channel, in its latest opinion poll result said that If parliament elections were held today, the BJP would get 19 out of 26 seats in Gujarat. In 2009 Lok Sabha election, the BJP secured 15 seats in Gujarat, leaving 11 for Congress. NDTV poll shows that Narendra Modi is in even better hold of Gujarat than before.

Forty-four per cent of those surveyed felt they were worse off under UPA II as compared to UPA I, with the bulk of both Congress and BJP voters feeling “let down.”

The opinion poll said 41 per cent of the Congress voters and 49 per cent of the BJP voters felt they were worse off compared to the previous term of the UPA.
