On Thursday, 56.2 per cent of voters considered development issues as important while it was higher at 57.4 per cent on Wednesday and 58.1 per cent on Tuesday. The dip in importance given to development issues is in contrast with the steady rise of voter percentage who consider economic issues as most important. During the same period from January 14-January 16, the percentage of voters listing economic issues as most important issue gradually increased. If it was 28 per cent on Tuesday, it rose to 28.3 per cent on Wednesday and spiked to 29.8 per cent on Thursday.

Compared to Wednesday, survey results of the /C-Voter Delhi Tracker on Thursday show the AAP retaining its previous day's ratings and the BJP ratings dipping by 0.6 per cent while the Congress has lost 0.1 per cent. The percentage of undecided voters stood at 14.4 per cent on Thursday.

As many as 55.4 per cent respondents say they will vote for the Aam Aadmi Party, if Delhi elections are held on January 16, according to -CVoter Delhi poll tracker 2020. However, 56.9 per cent of the respondents have thrown their weight behind the saffron party, so far as Lok Sabha elections are concerned.
