Most Pakistanis trust the government “to do what is right for the country” reveals latest Gallup sur

Well, on any polls done on PDF, PTI always win. The anti-incumbency is more evident in pdf.
While I remember @Irfan Baloch posting an inde-survey which says PMLN- PPP is going to win.

Study Pakistani exit polls which differentiate on basis of Rural/Urban and Educated/Uneducated you will get your reply

 

[Jinn Baba]

Can't believe I'm agreeing with the potians but I really don't think these results accurately reflect people's feelings in Pakistan.

The majority of Pakistanis dont follow politics actively, as it's still a developing system.

Ive heard many times PMLN supporters go on about how they wish the military would take over, and then in the same breath talk about how much they want Nawaz to be PM. Pakistani politics is based on personalities rather than ideology so established parties like PMLN and PPP always end up with the advantage there.

I dont recall posting results of a survey on PMLn but I have mentioned that our traditional feudal parties are going to win for sure as they have links to the rural population.
PTI is mostly an urban party and doesnt have enough votes to win the elections. it has made impressive gains over the years but it only stands second and Imran has to rely on traditional politicians with (alleged) checkered past to gain votes from some parts of the country.

it needs a generation to break the vote bank of Nawaz and PPP , people are slaves of these two parties and are very fearful of them. the sherif brothers have ruled punjab over 35 years and hold administration, traders, police, lawyers and judiciary under their thumb. they have people killed in broad day light in so called police encounters, their business and political rivals are harassed through police and religious thugs and driven out. an ordinary voter has no chance. they do also reward their loyal voters and servants so people are very much supporters of them. these are kind of people who dont see dishonesty, corruption and mismanagement as an issue (in their view if the money is not being taken out physically from their pocket and only from state then its just fine).

PTI will continue to win on internet and elitist media but this population wont turn the results in its favour in real elections.

I stopped reading once i saw ppp at 2nd. What they have sone for karachi or sindh in 8 years nothing. Not a single bridge or hospital abd they are placed at 2nd wow

there is nothing wrong in these surveys. in nawabshah geri khudabakhsh no one can beat PPP even if its leadership slaughters people in the town squares,
recall Model town massacre? Nawaz league still won. the by elections.

The rural **** peasantry are nothing but animals. So Rawalpindi should start treating them like animals. Rawalpindi has to start being more heavy handed.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

25% are Patwaris - pmln fanboys
44% + 22% trust because of military influence
8% are butthurt PTI fanboys
1% are mummy daddy burger kids

(My silly interpretation)

its a valid analysis

people are too simple to understand the implications of Money laundering, conflicts of interest and financial embezzlement
give them a keema naan and tea in a political meeting and send them off with Basmati ghee or wheat bag and ensure their votes in your favor.

my dear . sorry if you dont understand hindi/ urdu
but you might get the gist. the rant is on Imran's inability to connect with masses
while Nawaz has made the battlecry over his disqualification

if you can spare few moments check out this view it summarizes the challenges of Imran Khan

by Rawalpindi do you mean GHQ? please clarify

if so, then I respectfully disagree. because this rural peasantry is flesh and blood of Fouj/ GHQ from a soldier to the general. times have changed, GHQ / Pindi might influence and nudge from the background but it cant impose itself on people blatantly like it did in the past. why? because the international community is waiting to pounce on Pakistan if that happens. it has already built a narrative against Pakistan and it will result in such diplomatic storm and international restrictions that even China wont be able to stem.

1. I don't think the rural peasantry is the "flesh and blood" of the Army. Certainly the vast majority have absolutely no close relative in the Army. It is the vast majority that sabotages everything by continuously voting for the wrong parties. The rural peasantry of Sindh is the worst.
2. Pakistan has already become a pariah, so nothing to lose anymore. International community isn't much of a community anymore, it has fractured. Pakistan need not fear anymore sanctions related to what it does domestically at least. They can definitely afford to hammer forces that have been out of control for the past decade.

I understand almost 90% major sab. The lack of grass root level politics in large provinces is indeed an issue. Instead of moving with one Imran Khan, there should be local leaders, from Punjab regions.
Secondly, I have to say, we get what we deserve in the democracy. And it is possible that PMLN and PPP forming an alliance to defeat any Chance of PTI candidate winning. Democracy 101.

Education is the only way out of this mess. And politicians never want an educated mass, but zombies who are just worth a vote. Make an independent corruption free Election Commission, which has equal status to the judiciary, who can just rule over the political parties with a stick.

I agree with that. while India (full praise to its founders far sighted decisions) rid itself from all those who sided with British Raj in 1865 mutiny, we were on the other hand left in the mercy of these feudal who sold their souls and their fellow brothers and sisters for land and title rewards and inherited the master slave mentality. hence our sham democracy fails every so often
I must say that PTI has made impressive gains and has come very close in terms of vote bank but our first past the post system means that it doesnt matter what percentage of votes the runner up gained if he or she was few hundred or few thousand less than the first runner then he is a looser

• 1719 men and women were asked about their version

ISLAMABAD – Contrary to the popular perception of trust deficit between the masses and government, a recent survey has revealed that 69% Pakistanis claim to trust the national government to do what is right for the country.

The survey conducted by Gilani Research Foundation and Gallup also reveals that as much as 25% of Pakistanis (from among 69%) have ‘a lot of trust’ in what the government was doing while 44% said they somewhat trust.

The survey conducted in four provinces encompassing both male and female population asked: “How much do you trust the national government to do what is right for Pakistan; a lot, somewhat, not much, or not at all?”

View attachment 456794
In response, 22% said they did not trust it much and 8% said they did not trust the national government at all while 1% did not know or wish to respond.

The survey was carried out among a sample of 1719 men and women in rural and urban areas of the country from January 21 –January 27, 2018.

The widespread majority (69%) of people, trusting the government might appear as a surprise to political commentators owing to the fragile situation of the country with US threat looming at one end and economic turmoil shaking the confidence of investors on the other end.

Assalam u alaikum bro, sorry i can't understand your point, can you plz. explain little more if possible...

Indeed we had visionary leaders right after independence. We couldn't have existed as a country with such diversity and hundreds of languages and dialects.

hence our sham democracy fails every so often

It's not bad really. Some countries pretty much are sham democracy in the sense, 'real sham democracy' if you know what I meant. You had your dark times, we had ours when we had democracy slit by state emergency. It's good you have a stable democracy and a military which shows less interest in engaging in politics (as seen in the recent sit in's, dharna). Hopefully, things will get better in the coming years.

I must say that PTI has made impressive gains and has come very close in terms of vote bank but our first past the post system means that it doesn't matter what percentage of votes the runner up gained if he or she was few hundred or few thousand less than the first runner then he is a looser

That's democracy, we have had MLA/MP's lost for just one vote. The BJP is ruling with 30+% of the vote share in general public.

That video sums it up all. He should've done better than that. It was a great opportunity. Look at Modi here, people of India voted him for his campaign of anti-corruption. Not even once he mentioned Hindutva in a campaign (don't ask after that though corruption level has changed a bit).

When Sharif was booted out the vibe I got (at least from pdf) is public is done with this corruption. A campaign should've been in place. It looks just lazy on Imrans side. And the marriage news also didn't help. At least election results may wake him up to do something.
Public memory is short. They will move from one issue to another, just like that. So, in few years, the whole corruption issue, will disappear. Who knows, maybe in few years, you will see anyone from Sharif family on the chair and people will be cheering for them.

Good day.

The poll is not wrong- people were actually OK with the PML government simply because the PPP made such a shambles. Even if they are eating 60% in corruption- it is seen as better than the 90% the PPP was doing..
Additionally, PTI has as such lost MOST of its support among the educated masses and middle class because they are seen as scandalous rabble rousers and nothing more.
They have not delivered in Karachi and their performance in generally “disconnected” KP is not known to the rest of the voting masses.

The issue was with Nawaz and as such it seems the minus-Altaf and minus-Nawaz approach seems to be working...

 

[TheLahoriGuy]

As expected im seeing the tinfoilers on here claiming that this is a fake poll. And what exactly does anyone have to gain from a poll like this that only a couple thousand people will see ? You're telling me that PMLN won the general election in 2013, won again in NA-120 and then again in NA-154 is NOT trusted by the public ? If they don't trust them, why the hell would they keep voting for them ?
