METHODOLOGY

This is one of the most exhaustive and comprehensive surveys done to rate the performance of state governments and chief ministers by their own voters. In all, 26,432 citizens and voters were selected through random sampling. The number of voters selected for each state was proportional to the number of Lok Sabha and Assembly seats. Rural and urban voters were selected on the basis of population in the region. Like the sample from Gujarat has proportionately more urban voters than the sample from Orissa. Each ‘voter’ was given a questionnaire to fill up. Team C-Voter identified 15 parameters on which the citizen voter was required to rate the government and the CM. The answer options were standard-ranging from much improved to remains the same to far worse. Positive responses on each parameter were aggregated and a final average performance measurement was done accordingly. It is important to note here that the ‘performance’ of the state government and CM is based entirely on the perception of the individual voter whose expectations differ. from state to state. Hence, Bihar scores over Karnataka in terms of voter perceptions for the parameter public transport. One interesting and exclusive aspect of the survey is a question asked to voters to rate the best CM outside their own state. It has thrown up interesting results! This is an ongoing survey and TSI, along with C-Voter will be conducting them on a quarterly basis and exclusively share the results with readers.
