Republic TV published the finding of its survey on what the prospects of political parties will be if elections are to be held in November 2018 across the nation.
In Andhra Pradesh, the survey indicated a 41.3 percent vote share for the YSRCP and 31.2 percent for the Telugu Desam.
Stating that KCR was still the king in Telangana, it predicted a vote share of 31 percent for the TRS although the margin may have decreased since 2014.
What is significant to note here is that these national approval ratings indicate only the current mood i.e. if the polls were to be held in November and with still plenty of time to go, the YSRCP will have one heck of a battle on its hands against the media savvy TDP administration.
However, since Telangana will be going to the polls early, KCR is likely to retain power barring a stunning turnaround by the Opposition which is unlikely if not impossible.
