News18 UP Mega Survey Shows BJP Lead, Voter Priorities Ahead of 2027 Elections
The News18 UP Mega Survey, covering over 30,000 respondents across Uttar Pradesh, indicates the BJP-led NDA holds a significant lead over the SP-Congress alliance ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Key voter concerns include law and order, employment, inflation, and issues affecting youth such as exam paper leaks. Yogi Adityanath remains the preferred Chief Minister candidate, with broad satisfaction reported for his government's performance. The survey also highlights the growing importance of Gen Z voters and the Uniform Civil Code as electoral factors, while the Ram Mandir donation controversy appears to have limited impact.
