Poll finds people want leadership change; Rahul Gandhi preferred over Manmohan, Modi over Rahul

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s government, mired as it is in a series of scams, unable to gain control over runaway inflation, on the backfoot in its tussle with Anna Hazare and civil society activists on the Lokpal issue, and facing public revulsion over its brutal crackdown on Baba Ramdev and his supporters, has clearly lost public standing across the nation. This is evident in the findings of a ‘Mood of the Nation’ poll conducted by LensOnNews which shows that voters are exasperated with the crisis-ridden Manmohan Singh government at the Centre, and are yearning for a change. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of voters want a change of government at the Centre, while only about half that number (32%) want the Manmohan Singh government to continue in office.
