On an average, 24.6 per cent of Indian voters were angry with their state chief ministers compared to 11.2 per cent against their sitting MLA. But data for individual states show deep differences between them when it comes to anger against the state government and the chief minister.

This was revealed while analysing data for IANS on the quarterly anti-incumbency sentiments and index compiled by C Voter which is based on a unique daily tracker poll that C Voter has been conducting for a long time.

While voters in divergent states differ in their opinions and sentiments, the common thread is that anger against the state governments is far higher than the central government. For instance, 48.4 per cent of respondents in Punjab were most angry with the central government. In contrast, Telangana voters had the maximum level of anger against their state government at a very high 66.8 per cent.

One other quick conclusion that can be drawn after a quick analysis of this exclusive C Voter anti-incumbency index for IANS is that strategists of the Aam Aadmi Party would be satisfied. The least level of anger against their state government is shown in Delhi (28 per cent) followed by Punjab (32.5 per cent). Not surprisingly Delhi (6.3 per cent) and Punjab (9.7 per cent) also happen to be number two and three in states where voters are least angry with the chief minister.
