CNN-IBN - The Hindu Election Tracker Survey - Two out of three say UPA is corrupt

Two out of three people feel that the UPA-2 is corrupt and that corruption has increased over the last four years, while a growing number believe that the BJP is better at handling corruption than the UPA, according to the CSDS poll
 
Two-thirds respondents view the UPA-2 government as ‘corrupt’

All figures are in per cent and rounded off; hence they may not add up to 100. Weighted Data.
Question asked: How would you rate the Congress led UPA government at the Centre in terms of corruption – is it very corrupt, somewhat corrupt, not much corrupt or not at all corrupt?

According to the poll’s 19,062 respondents, it’s clear that the UPA has a problem with corruption. Across sections of people and locations, the BJP is seen as better at tackling corruption than the UPA

In 2004, just 23% of respondents to a CSDS poll felt that corruption had increased over the preceding five years of NDA rule

 At the end of June 2013, however, 69% of survey respondents felt that corruption had increased over the last four years of UPA rule

On the whole, respondents viewed the Centre as more corrupt than the State governments, except for Andhra Pradesh, Assam and Haryana – all Congress-ruled
