August 12; A PILDAT Public Opinion Poll has revealed that a substantial 67% of the country’s population believes that democratically elected governments constitute the best system for Pakistan. Crucially, the popular appetite for another Army rule in the country remains low as only 19% Pakistanis see another military rule as the best system for the country.

The nationwide poll was conducted during July 16, 2014 to August 6, 2014 with a large sample size of 3065 citizens throughout Pakistan.

Public Opinion on trust in leaders depicts the following picture:

On top of the pyramid is
Punjab's Chief Minister, Mr. Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif with 57% positive ratings.
He is followed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who received a 53% positive ratings.
At 52% positive ratings nationwide, chairman of the PTI, Mr. Imran Khan is viewed nationwide as a Good or Very Good leader.

Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri's public persona across Pakistan is steeped in negative perceptions of his leadership skills and potential. A whopping 72% of all Pakistanis evaluate him as a Bad or Very Bad leader, while only 21% rated him as a Good to Very Good leader.

Gen. (Retd.) Pervez Musharraf also remains an unpopular leader in Pakistan, albeit less unpopular than some of the other political leaders in Pakistan's national politics. 62% Pakistanis rate him as Bad or Very Bad leader, while 34% rated him as Good to Very Good leader.

Negative ratings of all other political leaders of Pakistan remain higher than their positive ratings in the public as shown in various opinion polls through previous years.

While 63% of all Pakistanis believe that the General Election held in May 2013 was somewhat to completely transparent and fair, 37% respondents see the May 2013 Election as somewhat rigged to completely rigged.

An overwhelming majority of Pakistanis, 85% believe that it is critical that the Election Commission of Pakistan's functions need to be reformed and reconfigured. In comparison, 67% people felt the need for electoral reforms in a poll upon the conclusion of 100 days of National and Provincial Governments in September 2013.

This, correspondingly, is also reflected in the trust in the ECP in which 52% Pakistanis report little to no trust at all in the Election Commission of Pakistan. 44% Pakistanis have somewhat to a lot of trust in this vital institution. This picture of a split mandate shows that at present Pakistanis remain uncertain about the Election Commission, while stating in clear terms that this institution needs to be reformed and changed as a matter of priority. Given, the pressure for reforms and changes in the ECP, only 30% Pakistanis believe that the next elections will be conducted in a much better fashion by the Election Commission. However, 26% Pakistanis have serious doubts about the Election Commission and believe that the ECP will fare worse in the next elections.

The Nationwide Poll was conceived and commissioned by PILDAT and conducted by Gallup Pakistan using the following Methodology:

Sample Size: 3065; Coverage: National/Rural and Urban/All four provinces; Mode: Face to face; Survey dates: July 16 – August 6, 2014. Estimated error margin: +3-5% at 95% confidence level.

21% of Pakistan is clueless. Someone like TUQ should have 0% support.

Nawaz Shareef is the prime minister of Punjab. The only reason he managed to win so many seats is because Punjab is given an unfair advantage in terms of National assembly seat number. For this reason alone, I want to see Punjab divided in to at least three provinces.

PILDAT is more into advice and research but I don't think they ever conducted surveys before.. Until now Gallup used to be Noon league's propaganda cell but I am actually surprised on what PILDAT is doing here. A short while ago Dawn's survey had revealed that Nawaz Shareef had 11% acceptance as a leader.. I am wondering what wonder he has done that his popularity jumped 46% up in two weeks.

Noon-league's performance and popularity in public is so poor that they cannot organize a mass-gathering at the time when they need for cosmetic purposes. That is why they are conducting "rallies" because in rallies head-count are hard to tell but in Jalsas counting people is relatively easier. At this time of need, administrative power (police and mole judiciary) are their first line of defence when they should've been relying on people if they are sitting with 2/3rd votabank in the country. MQM shows their people whenever they need.. and that works for them but why PMLN is totally avoiding that? With all that in view, 57% approval rating of Nawaz Shareef? Not logical.

its quite known in islamabad atleast (in policy circles). Even the dawn survey confirmed Shehbaz to be the most famous leader despite poor rating for his govt's performance in punjab. While people in KPK were the most satisfied with their govt's performance despite giving low ratings to Khattak.
It somewhat reflects the personality based politics in pakistan rather than performance based.

Surveys are notoriously easy to skew. The definition of popularity could simply be 'Do you know this guy?'

I dont believe it. TBH i have never believed any surveys or graphs like these bcz they dont take the opinion of the entire population and work on many guesses and theories. Even if that graph had shown imran was the number 1 leader, i still wouldnt believe it. The credibility of the survey gets thrown outside when it showed 21% of pakistan believes qadri is the solution. Surely with all that has happened the number must be much much much much much much lower than this.

21% of Pakistan is clueless. Someone like TUQ should have 0% support.

Where would that put Imran now that he is teaming up with him
