This is a cool overview of how it works. I think I read something like 80%+ of people there vote for Modi. Is that real? Does he have that much unwavering support?

As a whole, his approval rating might be > 70-80%.

But Modi's party's (BJP) vote share varies from state to state. Even in his own state, during last election in 2019, 62% of the people voted for his party.

Generally speaking, BJP's vote share varies from anywhere in high 30% to low 60% in most states, somewhere between 40-50% being the most common.
