ISLAMABAD – According to a nation-wide public opinion poll conducted by PILDAT, a majority of 54 percent Pakistan’s population expressed satisfaction with the democratic system.
PILDAT conducted the survey at the end of the third year of the current federal and provincial governments, June 2015-May 2016, said a press release issued here on Thursday.
Public satisfaction has been fairly consistent over the first three years of the currently elected governments on the overall quality of democracy.
The proportion of respondents who were satisfied with the existing democratic system at the end of second year of elected governments, June 2014-May 2015, stood at 58 percent. Moreover, at the end of first year of the elected governments, June 2013-May 2014, this figure stood at 55 percent.
With regards to provincial breakdowns, respondents from Sindh seemed to be least satisfied with overall quality of democracy, with only 32 percent of the respondents looking favourably upon it.
This was followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at 58 percent, Punjab at 61 percent and Balochistan at 66 percent.
Support for the overall quality of democracy at the end of the third year was greater amongst urban section of the country’s population, with 58 percent of the respondents from urban areas looking favorably upon it, in comparison to 47 percent of the respondents in Pakistan’s rural areas.
Even though satisfaction with the overall quality of democracy remains consistently positive, the favourable outlook with regards to democracy as a system of government has seen a decline of 11 percentage points in three years compared to the first year.
At the end third year, only 56 percent of the nation-wide respondents believe democracy to be the best system of government, as compared to 67 percent at the end of the first year and 64 percent at the end of the second year.

Well I personally don't believe in surveys, have issues but this is interesting.
Baluchistan is hardly surprising since they are enjoying democracy as the democratically elected provincial govt is not perfect but its pretty good and zehri is a pretty good CM. We must remember that musharraf era cannot be counted as democracy in the sense it represents and most of PPP era went with army operations against terrorists. So after a long time they are free to chose their democracy free from the psycho sardars that wanted only money and power and now sit abroad.
Punjab and kpk is also hardly surprising although interested at what others supported. What system did they want?
As for Sindhis. Khuda ka khauf karo. Nawab sahab agar ap log PPP aur MQM jaisey parties ko power mai lao gay, tu is may jamhooriyat ka kiya kasur hai. :p :p :p :p
Overall 54 percent. The number is falling.
Each system has its issues. Military, democracy or any other system and to blame any system for the condition Pakistan is in is wrong. We are in this condition not bcz of democracy or dictatorship but our own inability to try a single system for a longer period of time. This flip flopping has to stop. We have adopted democracy so let's ride this thing out.
