[Rafael]

Imran Khan surpasses ALL as the most popular leader in today's published PEW research


Excerpts below:

Opposition leader Nawaz Sharif fares better: 63% express a positive opinion of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader, down from a year ago when 71% held this view. The most popular leader tested is former cricket star Imran Khan. Nearly seven-in-ten (68%) have a favorable view of the athlete turned politician, up from 52% in 2010.

Imran Kahn, the former world class Pakistani cricket player who founded the small opposition political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, is increasingly popular in Pakistan. About two-thirds (68%) have a favorable view of Khan, a vocal opponent of U.S. drone strikes; in 2010, about half (52%) had a positive opinion of him. Khan is widely popular across both main political parties; 81% of PML-N supporters and 61% of PPP supporters give him a favorable rating.

Imran Khan surpasses ALL as the most popular leader in today's published PEW research > Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf > Insaf News

[Leader]

his popularity is going up and up, I see this as transitional phrase, where status quo parties are dying, and PTI is rising with its Nationalistic approach, coming forward as a potentially saviour of Pakistan's political system...

 

[Nothing]

He needs to convert his popularity in vote bank..... Sharif is very near to him and he has resources to win election .. even part of PML ( Q) is with him.. Zardari's inability to get support will help him too in Punjab..

Imran Khan needs candidates with ample of resources to fight election in heart land of PML and PPP.
He needs to swing 15 to 20% vote bank in his favor to get sufficient numbers to to establish PTI as majority party. He needs more resources or may be youth have to volunteer for him at time of his election campaign.

Even Zardari and Gilani duo is capable to get enough seats so they can keep dependency on PPP alive..
Still there is way to negotiate with all small and medium players for PTI to get their support .. otherwise it will gonna be difficult .. Imran Khan need to go to interior Sindh and Punjab to make PTI strong in heart land of PPP and PML .. Election campaign in big cities are useless .. Middle class and upper middle class don't vote much .. for them election is extra holiday

 

[Awesome]

Raheel you beat me to it...

Sharif being so close to him is not really comfortable. Surveyors must have only asked the educated folks, when they go deep into maja gama category (u know, Nawaz Sharif Sadaa praa!), Sharif might edge ahead.

Still bloody fantastic!

i agree it depends on who was surveyed in the poll. just city folks (who dont vote) or rural folks also took part. what is the ratio of urbanites and rural will tell the real story. i see him and his party winning a few seats but thats all....

Country: Pakistan – May
Sample design: Multi-stage cluster sample of all four provinces stratified by province (the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Gilgit- Baltistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir were excluded for security reasons as were areas of instability in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [formerly the North-West Frontier Province] and Baluchistan— roughly 15% of the population) with disproportional sampling of the urban population
Mode: Face-to-face adults 18 plus
Languages: Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Saraiki, Hindko, Brahavi
Sample size: 1,251
Margin of Error: ±4.0 percentage points
Representative: Sample is disproportionately urban, but data are weighted to reflect the actual urban/rural distribution in Pakistan. Sample covers roughly 85% of the adult population

Asim the sample design tells us that the views are shared by urban population and it no where mentions that the representatives were educated or not. Secondly the survey was conducted in all provinces and in several different languages excluding some terror effected areas of KP and Baluchistan.

Thus we can conclude that IK has support all over Pakistan including Baluchistan and Sindh contrary to the views of some of our political analysts.

PTI and Imran Khan should rise with Islamic Approach

 

[Awesome]

PTI and Imran Khan should rise with Islamic Approach

Maaf karo yaar. He will never get his votes that way.

no one knows who IK is in the rural areas and that is where the vote banks lie. city slickers dont vote. they just watch the results on TV and bemoan their fate. this survey dosnt mean anything.
