According to PEW Research Center Publications, Imran Khan is on top of the list of most favourable Pakistani leaders as 68 % people has favourable views of the cricket turned politician, up from 52% in 2010.
The most interesting thing is that Imran Khan is also widely popular across both main political parties; 81% of PML(N) supporters and 61% of PPP supporters give him a favourable rating.
It seems that in the next elections many voters of PPP and PML(N) will vote for Imran Khan.
