Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath can smile. The people of Uttar Pradesh appear to be happy with his government. Nearly two years into governing India's largest states, Yogi has managed to woo his electorate.

According to the Mood of the Nation poll conducted by India Today-Karvy Insights, 40 per cent people polled in Uttar Pradesh say he is the best performing chief minister in the country.

The other options included Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.

Since August 2017, Yogi's popularity in terms of the best performing CM in the country has seen a bumpy trend.

In the Mood of the Nation poll conducted in August 2017, 30 per cent respondents said they think Yogi is the best performing CM in the country. In the poll conducted in January 2018, this figure fell to 28 per cent. However, in the poll conducted in August 2018, 42 per cent respondents said they think Yogi is the best CM in the country.

The present figure - 40 per cent - is a tad lower than the August poll, but it still suggests that he still has his hold on the people of Uttar Pradesh.

The survey in Uttar Pradesh is part of a larger survey aimed at understanding the nation's political mood months before the Lok Sabha election. In Uttar Pradesh, 2,478 people participated in the India Today-Karvy Insights' Mood of the Nation poll.

Overall, the people of Uttar Pradesh rated Yogi Adityanath's performance as 3.57 on a scale of five.
