Welcome to Gallup Pakistan !

63% Pakistanis rejoice over President Musharraf’s resignation, while only 15% regret it. 20% were ambivalent.

64% Pakistanis reject his claims of economic accomplishments and good government during his term.

70% Pakistanis say past nine years were bad or vary bad and only 18% saying they were good or very good.

55% Pakistanis expect that conditions in the country will now improve, 19% take a pessimistic view saying conditions will worsen; 19% expect no change.

65% support holding a proper trial while only 26% are in favor of the “forgive and forget” option. 72% say if they were giving verdict as judge they would give harsh or some punishment to Musharraf.

85% want Iftikhar Chaudry and other judges to be restored immediately, 6% oppose restoration, while 9% advise not to take up the issue right now.

Poll found that sentiments about Musharraf cut across Gender, Age and Incomes groups.

these stats are worth toilet paper.. plus public surveys are stupid simply because well its unfortunate that it seems to me their brain just started ticking from 2007... i think they were asleep because even a neutral observer can tell the pakistan progressed in past 6-7 years.. i also dough the creditability of this survey..

boyee

and these stats are conducted by interviewing a handful people, 1000-2000 max. not representative of the opinion of country of 160 million for sure

No matter. We, as a nation are in habit of creating turmoil and celebrating. Bothways. Cant behave mature and sensible ever.

Thats how statistics work.


Mushrraf & Shakut Aziz create an economic bubble that burst & now people are paying for it dictator's economic policies for over 8 years.

"70% Pakistanis say past nine years were bad or vary bad and only 18% saying they were good or very good"

70% Pakistani people think the past nine years have been bad? Compared to the BB and NS era's.....

People in our country have such short memories!

^ The 90s were much better, thanks to the inflation and terrorism we have seen. We might not have seen alot of numbers in the news back then, but generally people see the last decade being very harsh on their pockets, which is why they dont care about the numbers crafted by Shaukat Aziz.

The bitter reality is, a roti was Rs. 1-2 back then, now its Rs. 4-5!

its interesting to see how anti-Musharraf groups see economy at his time

one group sees it as going downhill
other sees it as a bubble

both groups contradict eachother, without realizing that.

STONECOLD

And when i was in pakistan pre 1996 roti was 75p...obviously commodities most of the time go up...but so do salaries!

in that case, why not apply the same logic on THIS thread.. shall we?

the point is that it all goes to the way the questionnaire is arranged. you can get two opposite results from same group of people if it is arranged cleverly. Zia's referendum rings any bells?

All these surveys showing support or defiance for MUshy are meaningless now.

Mushy will get away; judges will be restored, which will make NS happy, and Zardari will protect NRO by piggybacking it with Judges restoration resolution. Everyone is happy.. Pakistan PaindaBaad.

Spock

This is an independent survey, conducted by professionals whose reputation earns them the credibility to carry out such surveys. Please don't compare them to sham referendums done by Musharraf/Zia.

Not if you continue to think he was some sort of popular president.

Thank you Mr. Najoomi Atleast aap ney yeh tu confirm kar diya judge bahaal ho rahey hain.

Xenophanez

^^ hahaha typical Spock response.. selective reading and replying that is... NVM Spock bacha.. in two three weeks time we all will witness the same results.

Spock

selective?

ehtasab

It shows that people who are anti-Musharraf do think instead of being parrot "all is good"

callofduty

so all surveys conducted in west and US where majority thinks all muslims are terrorists??? are we??? anything is possible under media rule.. the media controls the people and politicians control the media!

Spock

No credible survey says such a thing, stop making things up. If you want, post it up and we'll discuss it.

ehtasab

Really? Can you please cite one? Not the ones by Fox or Michael Savage, thanks.

gesto
