Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif has the highest approval rating of any public figure in Pakistan, according to the latest survey from the Pew Research Center released on Tuesday.

At 66 percent, Sharif has gained four percentage points from the last Pew poll in 2012.

“Sharif is particularly well liked in Punjab province (78 percent),” Pew noted in the report.

Nawaz is followed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan, who is the only real electoral threat to Sharif on May 11, when Pakistan’s 86.2 million registered voters get to elect representatives to the national and four provincial assemblies.

Khan’s approval rating is 60 percent, down 10 points from last year.

“Khan’s drop has been especially steep among 18- to 29-year-olds, his strongest supporters in 2012 (63 percent favorable in 2013 vs. 76 percent in 2012),” the report said. His fall and hospitalisation on May 7 could provide him a sympathy bump, the poll noted.

The army chief General Ashraf Kayani is in third place with an approval rating of 45 percent, nine points lower than last year. He is followed by Pakistan’s Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, who has shed eight points from last year, with an approval rating of 43 percent.

  4. People please dont listen blindly to statistics….These are made to mislead people. When they say 66% they dont necessarily tell you how many people are in the survey. if only 100 people are in the survey and 66 say yes to nawaz then 66% people are rooting for nawaz. Its not representative of the population. They have to tell other factors such as where the survey was conducted how many people took place in it at least so we can tell if it is truly representative of the population. One expects better from Pakistan Today.

    • this is not pakistan today's report. this is pakistan economy watch's (pew) survey which pakistan today is reporting. please understand the difference.

  10. Look at these figures:

    75% Lion (Bravery)
    50% Bat (Chamgader)
    25% Arrow (Pointed at Dubai)

    You shall find my analysis true on 11.

    • Your analysis will be proved wrong logically straight away.

      75% + 50% + 25% <> 100%

      But to make it correct.

      25% + 50% + 25% = 100% 😉

  11. Only Time will tell. Mark my words Inshallah Imran Khan is the new leader.

  15. Five years in punjab govt. made enough money to buy any polls, abchors, news channels…..in sha Allah May 11. And Allah is the best of all the Planners.

  16. What Poll? We believe POLL on May 11, 2013. Please do not confuse the nation.

  28. I simply can not come across a place here to order a subscribtion to “Letters in the Mail” for your gift or two and also for myself.
    It sounds like a wonderful idea and several of my pals will probably be delighted to receive letters in the mail….

  29. There are actually a whole lot of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a great point to bring up. I provide the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing might be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around things like that, but I am certain that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment�s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

  30. Can I just say what a reduction to search out someone who really knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You positively know the best way to bring a difficulty to gentle and make it important. More folks must read this and understand this facet of the story. I cant imagine youre not more standard because you positively have the gift.
