National Approval Ratings: Stalin's DMK likely to defeat AIADMK, NDA AND UPA

With the Lok Sabha elections 2019 inching closer, Republic TV and CVoter have presented the National Approval Ratings to give complete national picture as to who will win if polls are held in September 2018. A dramatic shift in terms of the national representation from Tamil Nadu is on the cards.

• While Jayalalitha ensured that the AIADMK scalps 37 out of the 39 seats in her last general election campaign in 2014, the AIADMK is posed to decline by 28 seats and see its voteshare sliced to almost half of its 2014 performance
   
• Where the AIADMK has declined, the DMK has gained. In fact, in great news for Stalin, the DMK is set to take it tally of 0 from 2014 to sweep Tamil Nadu with 28 seats out of the 39 total in the offing
   
• Both the Congress and the BJP are almost non entitites in the fight, though the BJP has managed to hold on to its one foot in in Tamil Nadu with maintaining its 2 seat tally in the state

2018 has been a blockbuster year so far as far as the political landscape of India is concerned. While BJP managed to form government in 3 states this year, either in alliance or on its own, gaining a massive lead over the Opposition, the Congress, by forming government in Karnataka by tying up with the JDS, saved itself from being out of power in all large states, save for Punjab. Out of 4 states, which went to polls this year, BJP has its government on its own in Tripura and with alliance partners in two states, namely, Meghalaya (with National People’s Party), Nagaland (with Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party), whereas the Congress managed to form government in Karnataka with JDS as its alliance partner.

The results of 2019 Lok Sabha elections may or may not reflect the results or scenarios of the state assembly elections, nevertheless, to establish where we stand at present, Republic TV and CVoter has presented the National Approval Ratings.
