ET Poll for 2014 elections: A look at what and who appeals to people in Uttar Pradesh

Here are the statistics that emerged from the ET poll for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2014. This is how the political clamour sounds like in Uttar Pradesh:

BJP, BSP voters more sticky

Between 2009 and 2014, BJP and BSP have more loyal supporters. Further, 26% apiece of SP and Congress voters in 2009, and 16% of BSP, prefer the BJP this time.

BJP gains across voter sections...
Compared to 2009, the BJP is gaining from all 14 sections of voters. In 10, it is gaining 10 percentage points or more.

…And state regions…

…While SP loses across

Compared to 2009, the SP is suffering losses in all 14 sections of voters surveyed

BJP-led NDA best alliance for India
NDA is the best alliance for India. NDA scores high among Hindus and general castes; UPA among Muslims, SCs and STs

September made a difference

Two recent events — Muzaffarnagar clashes and BJP naming Modi for PM — helped BJP

No confidence in Akhilesh Yadav

SP loyalists are mostly happy, but others are deserting the party this time.

Modi over Rahul

The mandate from UP for Narendra Modi is more emphatic than that for Rahul Gandhi. Modi scores more among Muslims than Gandhi scores among Hindus. Modi also does better among Congress voters than Gandhi among BJP voters.
