In response to this question, 52% said it will be better, 21% said it will be worse, 20% said that there will be no change while 7% did not respond to the question. [image: Imran Khan govt survey] link: Gallup
The same question was asked 5 years ago in 2013 when Nawaz Sharif’s tenure as Prime Minister was starting, 61% said it will be better than the previous tenure, 13% said it will be worse while 25% said it will be the same as before.
Imran Khan’s PTI emerged as the single largest political party after the July 25 elections.
Khan was sworn-in as prime minister of Pakistan on August 17. The new PM has promised to create millions of jobs and build world-class hospitals and schools in the country.
After spending much of his political career on the fringes, the Oxford-educated former sportsman rose to power on a populist platform, and in recent years his anti-corruption message has increasingly resonated with Pakistanis, especially the young.
