Majority rejoices over Musharraf’s resignation: Survey
Updated at: 1105 PST, Thursday, September 04, 2008
ISLAMABAD: The Gallup survey revealed that 63 percent people rejoice over former president Musharraf’s resignation, while only 15 percent regret it. “20 percent were ambivalent about saying they were neither happy or unhappy”, the survey added.

70 percent dispute Musharraf’s claim to have resigned with the motive of Pakistan first. Instead, they said he resigned in personal interest-‘Musharraf first’ approach.

The majority of Pakistanis, 64 percent, also reject his claims of economic accomplishments and good government during his last nine-year tenure.

Surveys have shown that, rightly or wrongly, majority of Pakistanis attribute current economic crisis and inflation to bad policies of Musharraf regime.

The majority of Pakistanis take a pessimistic view of the past nine years, 70 percent said it was bad or vary bad and only 18 percent said it was good or very good. The remaining did not give a view.


As his tenure comes to an end, 55 percent Pakistanis expect that conditions in the country would improve with Musharraf’s resignation, 19 percent take a pessimistic view said conditions will worsen; 19 percent expect no change.
people in pakistan change their minds. a few years ago nawaz and BB were very unpopular..per the same IRI stats that people show here about how unpopular musharraf was in his last days. if you look at the same surveys, musharraf's popularity tanked and BB and Nawaz's increased.

so, I have no doubt in my mind that the stats that you posted show what the people feel like right now. It would be interesting to see 6 months, a year, 2 years later what the sentiments are. maybe they will change as in the case of BB and Nawaz, maybe they will not change.

but yeah, at the end of his tenure he was disliked by majority of the people. no doubt about that
