A recent survey by Gallup & Gilani Pakistan, a social research lab, shows that around 57% of Pakistanis are satisfied with Prime Minister Imran Khan’s performance as an individual.
PM Khan has finished his first nine months in power, and people’s opinion of him seems to have improved, according to Gallup. Previously, the satisfaction percentage was at 51% in January 2019.
The exact question asked was “What is your opinion on Prime Minister Imran Khan’s overall performance up until now, i.e., since his winning the 2018 elections?”

However, according to the survey results, 51% of people thought Khan’s performance in the economic sector of Pakistan was weaker than that of PML-N’s Nawaz Sharif.
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.

The survey also sheds light on some interesting demographics. The Urban respondents seem noticeably more positive about the PM.
On the other hand, the rural population does not seem too inclined towards the current government.
A few days ago, people were also seen conducting polls of their own on Twitter.

Moreover, Khan seems to have gained significantly more approval among millennials as compared to people from the middle-age group and above.
#NawazSharif and #ShahbazSharif are also close contenders in terms of popularity rating to #ImranKhan with 55% and 50% approval rating.

It is to be noted that the survey results tell more about Imran Khan as an individual than Imran Khan as the current political leader.
#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%.
