What a difference a couple of years can make. With a rising economic tide, a new captain at the helm and a buoyant public mood, the Indian ship of state has the wind at its back.<\/p>\n\n

\"Since<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

In late 2013, Indians were mired in dissatisfaction with the way things were going in their country. They were only moderately satisfied with economic conditions. And barely half had a favorable view of then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a member of the long-ruling Indian National Congress party (INC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Modi\u2019s appeal is a driving force behind this upsurge in Indians\u2019 positive mood. Those who have a lot of confidence in Modi voice greater satisfaction with the direction of the country today than those with only some confidence in the prime minister. Respondents who have a lot of confidence in Modi also say the nation\u2019s economic situation is very <\/em>good.<\/p>\n\n

And those who have a lot of confidence in Modi are more likely to expect the economic situation in India to improve a lot over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n\n

Moreover, Modi\u2019s aura has reinvigorated Indians\u2019 faith in their government. About two-thirds of respondents who have a lot of confidence in the prime minister say the influence of the national government is now very<\/em> good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Majorities<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n
\"BJP<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, Indians believe their country still faces myriad challenges. More than eight-in-ten say crime, jobs, inflation and corruption are very<\/em> big problems. Concern about air pollution is up 22 points in just the past year, complaints about poor-quality schools are up 20 points and worry about health care is up 15 points.<\/p>\n\n

And Indians see the world as a challenging place. Nearly three-quarters say they are very<\/em> concerned about global climate change. A similar proportion say neighboring Pakistan poses a very<\/em> serious threat to India.<\/p>\n\n

These are among the main findings of a new Pew Research Center survey conducted among 2,452 respondents in India from April 6 to May 19, 2015.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
