National Approval Ratings: In Tripura, BJP projected to rout CPI(M), Congress

Ahead of Assembly polls, which will be held in 2019, Republic TV, in association with CVoter, has come out with third edition of National Approval Ratings to bring forward mood of nation in present time.

In Tripura, BJP has gained so significantly in past four years that should elections take place in December, y would win both seats with an massive vote share. ir dominance is so apparent that CPI(M), which had 64 percent vote share and both seats in 2014, will be relegated to half in terms of votes and nil in terms of seats.

Comparison to 2014:

In 2014, CPI(M) won both seats in state with an overwhelming vote share of 64 percent. But things have changed significantly since n, so much so that y are projected to end up empty-handed this time around, with a vote share of a mere 32.8 percent, almost half of what y got in 2014.

biggest benefactor of ir fall is BJP. y are projected to win both seats, and improve ir vote share from 5.7 percent to 44.8 percent, a gigantic rise in of four and a half years.

Congress was barely in picture in 2014, and case is same for 2019. 

Prediction in October and vember:

In October, it was projected that re would be a direct shift in votes of CPI(M) to BJP. What was more heartening for BJP was that NDA was taking its tally of 5.7% of vote to a whopping 50.7% of vote-share all by itself and without any regional ally crutch. CPI(M) were relegated to 31.4 percent votes, with Congress-led UPA coming way behind in third with 13.5 percent.

Similar pattern could be witnessed in vember edition of National Approval Ratings, with seat-share remaining same, and only difference being in terms of vote-share.
