The survey also recorded support for the Chief Minister across all age groups. Among respondents aged 18–25, 37.8 percent expressed support for Chief Minister Dhami, compared with 43 percent in the 26–35 age group, 46.8 percent among those aged 36–50, 50.3 percent among those aged 51–60, and 51.8 percent among respondents above 60 years of age.
The survey figures indicate that decisions related to the Uniform Civil Code, a stringent anti-copying law, women’s empowerment, protection of Devbhoomi’s original character, development and good governance have contributed to Chief Minister Dhami’s growing acceptability across different social and age groups.
With the BJP projected to win 54 seats and the Congress just 14 seats ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, the survey presents a major positive indication for the Dhami government. The broader message emerging from the survey is that public confidence remains strong in a government that gives priority not only to development but also to protecting Uttarakhand’s culture, identity and original character.
