Now it is down to one is to one and a half.When asked to compare the first term of the UPA with the second term, most respondents across all categories said UPA I was better. For every person who feels UPA II is better, there are two who feel UPA I was better. The preference for UPA I is highest among UPA voters, the college educated, urban respondents and the upper class.There is a very small difference of two percentage points between those wanting the UPA to continue and those who want it out. The difference was ten percentage points in 2009. The sentiment against the UPA continuing in power is stronger in urban areas and among the upper classes. While in rural areas and among middle, lower and poor classes, the sentiment against the UPA is also fairly strong, but there are still more people among these sections who want the UPA to continue in power, than not continue.
