All figures in per cent

The BSP was the most disliked party of the largest group of respondents to this multiple-choice question. The AIADMK was the first choice of the second-largest group. The Congress was the party 25 per cent said they would not consider voting for. The BJP got mentioned least often at 21 per cent. This mirrors the two big parties' positive rating in the previous query. Most of parties in the table above are one-man shows-Laloo Yadav, Sharad Pawar and so on. The young voters' anger is directed at irresponsible personality cults.
