Despite giving -ve ratings to #PTIGovernment on economy + foreign policy & saying that the previous gov was better, majority Pakistanis are satisfied with IK’s gov. #ImranKhan's own popularity is stable & generally most Pakistanis are willing to give more time to the current gov.
61% Pakistanis say they miss #NawazSharif's government; only 31% want PML-N government to return.
Curbing of #Corruption and Terrorism also gets positive rating from majority of Pakistanis.
Significant decline seen in public perception since September 2018, when comparison is done with #PMLN government. Only 27% now say that PTI government is better than previous governments, a figure which used to be 49% till September 2019.
#ImranKhan's own charisma and popularity rating strong. It appears that most Pakistanis draw a line between PTI government’s performance and liking and support for Imran Khan. Imran Khan is still the most popular leader in the country at 57%.
#NawazSharif and #ShahbazSharif are also close contenders in terms of popularity rating to #ImranKhan with 55% and 50% approval rating.
Pessimism appears to draw in as most Pakistanis believe economic conditions will deteriorate (56%). Only 1 in 3 Pakistanis are hopeful that economic conditions will improve.
Despite criticism, Punjab CM #UsmanBuzdar receives highest rating among all CM’s at 37%. This is however, a far cry from the previous Punjab CM #ShahbazSharif's popularity rating which were always above 50%.
This can be explained by very stiff electoral competition in Punjab, where in popular votes of PML-N and PTI are in a virtual tie.
