To present a snapshot projection of where the various parties stand at the moment in different states, Republic TV and CVoter have published the National Approval Ratings which present a complete picture of what would happen if elections are held today.

Simultaneously, the satisfaction index of Congress president Rahul Gandhi has spiralled downward in the same time-frame.
