Close to mid-way of his term, PM Modi continues to enjoy good backing from his supporters in big cities
A survey finds that salaried and self-employed individuals in 7 cities, traditionally seen as BJP supporters, are imrpressed by Modi's performance.
Indian economy is doing well, jobs are being created, acchche din are on their way, and Swachch Bharat is the flagship programme they are most impressed with.
They concede nationalism-related controversies have affected the government's performance, but the blame is put squarely on Congress.
It is only the budget which has not gone down well with this group.
Hyderabad and Kolkota are the only two cities which are not swayed by Modi. The rest in the survey - Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai swear by him.
The survey, carried out by ET-TNS, covered 2200 individuals in the age group 24 to 50. They earn between Rs 3 to 20 lakhs annually.
As experts say, the social groups with this profile are mostly drawn from upper castes, which form the core base for BJP.
The good news for Modi is his supporters are steadfastly with him.
The bad news is this group not only votes less and also its impact on election results is minimal.
