Imran Khan Discharges

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman, Imran Khan is the most popular leader in Pakistan with a 70 percent approval rating. According to a survey from PEW Research Center, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif is not far from Khan and has 62 percent votes in his favour. While the PML-N president may only be 8 points behind Khan, Sharif held an approval rating of 79 percent in 2009. With little change from last year, only 14 percent view President Asif Zardari favourably. The President has seen a significant drop over the years, as his approval rating stood at 64 percent in 2008.
Recently disqualified prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, proves to be somewhat better with 36 percent popularity. Around 89 percent describe the national economic situation as bad; 85 percent held this view in 2011. An overwhelming majority rate unemployment, crime, terrorism and corruption as very big problems. About 87 percent are dissatisfied with the country’s direction, compared to 92 percent last year. More than 50 percent rate Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as favourable. Ratings for both the army chief and the chief justice have slightly slipped since 2010. Former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf received relatively poor ratings with only 39 percent approving of the ex-president.
MILITARY MOST FAVOURABLE INSTITUTION: The military remains the most highly rated institution in Pakistan – 77% say it has a good influence on the country, nearly the same percentage (79%) as last year. However, the military’s ratings have slipped somewhat from a high of 86% in 2009. Large majorities also rate the influence of the media (68%) and religious leaders (66%) as good. In the past year, however, positive reviews of the media have declined eight percentage points. Roughly six-in-ten give the court system high marks. The courts’ ratings have been relatively constant over the years, except for a dip in positive reviews in 2011. As has been true in past surveys, few (24%) say the police are a good influence. Ratings of the national government are also very low – just 24% of Pakistanis believe it plays a positive role in the country. President Zardari receives even more negative reviews. Only 12% believe he has a good influence, while 84% say it is bad. Pakistanis who identify with Zardari’s party, PPP, are more likely to give him high marks, though they are still divided – 44% say his influence is good, 48% say it is bad. Attitudes about Zardari are particularly negative in Punjab (96% bad influence) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (95%).

  3. This is to the face of every ignorant jiyala out there. May Allah guide them to see how evil & corrupt they & their fathers are/ were.

    Most disappointed in the Nawaz opinion, how can anyone believe this corrupt man & his brother.

    • well I am happy… If you look at the details of this survey, Nawaz has more unfavourable reviews as compared to CH shujaat and General Kiyani…. 🙂

  5. yes, he is the man pakistan and pakistanis were looking for. Inshallah he is another Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the making.

  6. Agencies, turncoats, u-turns and only false accusations against PMLN is what goes to the credit of this man. He has lost credibility in my eyes. If you treat him a leader, this is your choice.

    Zardari is getting strength due to this man because he is opposition to the opposition. Vote for this man is vote for Zardari.

    • Agencies: How? in fact it is Nawaz Sharif is a man backed by agencies. How the accusations are false? Is 600 hundred million pound money laundering is a joke. Senator Ishaq Dar of PMLN vouched in the court? A man who only pays 5000 tax and runs an industrial empire? Is this a false accusation? A man who lies flees the country for 7 years and does not accept his cowardly past …
      turncoats are in all parties Imran did not invite them as Nawaz Sharif is call backing all the PMLQ
      u-turns : he still stands to his position on war on terror and in his Quetta Jalsa speech he took the FC to task you do not follow news better follow news
      wiki Leaks cable 2007 says that Imran Khan is the only politician who 'sticks to his principles'.
      All I say bias has no ground to flourish and yet it contaminates minds

  7. Nawaz and PML are every bit as bad PPP. The country needs real change not cosmetic change with one crook being replaced by another.IK the country needs you.

  9. allah has created different people for different purpuses.I think aalah has created khan for leading the country and putting it on right track

  10. .
    How do they do a survey (across the population) in Pakistan? Impossible. PEW is B/S …
    .

  11. Zardari's only hope is Imran Khan…! He should divide punjabi rightist votes. Good Luck

  13. Zardari is just a criminal and need to get out of power quickly, Imran should do well he is a good change for pakistain,

  14. This survey has been done by some crooks sitting in Punjab, and it seems to fakedly prepared by some white collars in and around Lahore and Islamabad.

  15. Come election day and these surveys will be trashed. If Tsunami Khan has any illusions, he can personally contest bye-election in Multan. So can Nawaz Sharif. I think PPP will inflict a crushing defeat on both of them. I wonder what will be happen to all these surveys, so-called paid analysts and anchors.

  18. this man is the last hope of pakistani people`s InshALLAH this time he will win election..
    visit my blog imagekedunia.blogspot.com

  19. These surveys are prepared in drawing rooms by pro-Imran or pro-Nawaz elements who mostly belong to Lahore-Islamabad-Karachi middle class professional fools and idiots. Only they can win war of surveys but not war of elections. Compare these survey results of Nawaz-Imran popularity with a recent bye-election result in Sindh:-
    PPP MPA candidate 40000 votes and
    PMLN supported candidate 369 votes and
    PTI dared not to contest.

    • you live in fool's paradise watch out you have some shocks waiting for you
      Imran Khan is an internationally acclaimed figure he is not Gwalmandi-
      or-Bambino Cinema product

  21. These surveys are prepared in drawing rooms by pro-Imran or pro-Nawaz elements who mostly belong to Lahore-Islamabad-Karachi middle class professional fools and idiots. Only they can win war of surveys but not war of elections. Compare these survey results of Nawaz-Imran popularity with a recent bye-election result in Sindh:-

    • so, you were present there in the 'drawing room' by ducking heads in sands the reality does not change

  22. Says who ? we dont even like him & specially after he Joined with with JI .
    Imran you have lost our Votes & i know you dont even care

    • He will not join hands with JI be patient this is his 'change of pace' and the PLMN could not raed it

  25. despite a supporter of imran khan, hona wohi hai jo hota aya hay , ppp will be the next ruler party , agar soch change kerni hay to rural areas main change kerni hogi , jahan imran khan aur imran ki party duur duur tak nahin, hats off to bhutto , phd in criminology

    • but you cannoy historical forces and elemnts of necessity and at the momnet things are in favour of Imran Khan what has happened in the past is necessary to repeat different team different wicket different man do not underestime Imran Khan

  33. I pray to Allah almighty for mercy on unfortunate Pakistani people and save them from
    PPP crooks and thugs particularly evil Zardari.nation has suffered enough,although,to some extent they only have to blame themselves.
