According to a survey, there is concern in among those surveyed about job stagnation, rise in inflation, price rise and Land Acquisition Bill. But over 72% of the more than 20,000 people surveyed across 23 states covering more than 153 districts are satisfied with the performance of Modi government in the last one year.

Over 60% believe their economic condition has improved in the last one year while 55% feel corruption has either come down or remained the same.

There is still ambiguity over Modi's “Make In India” initiative even as Swachch Bharat campaign gets the support of over 85% of those polled. With Modi getting huge receptions in foreign countries and the Prime Minister making extra efforts to reach out to the major nations, the respondents feel that India’s image has improved globally. A majority also say Modi is an effective Prime Minister.

Over 60% believe their economic condition has improved in the last one year while 55% feel corruption has either come down or remained the same. But 32% contend corruption has been rising in the last one year.

Even as Modi has been the most active leader on social media, his interactions using the mainstream media have had the maximum impact. Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' on All India Radio where he speaks on a chosen topic pips Twitter and Facebook as his most popular connecting tool.
