President General Pervez Musharraf is an obvious and ideal choice for leadership of Pakistan in comparison to former Prime Ministers Ms Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, says International Public Opinion Polls (IPOP) survey report. The IPOP survey report was carried by several Pakistani newspapers, which focused primarily on exploring leadership issues for rescuing Pakistan. It suggested that Pakistani nation suffers from assertively dangerous and grave political crises that also endanger the national interest which has a significant bearing and immense pertinence. The IPOP, a research organization based in the United States, recently published a opinion based report on a survey conducted from 1572 people in Pakistan. The target population was educated and relatively-less educated populace of Pakistan. The purpose of the survey was to explore suitable and substantive political leadership qualities and attributes from within Pakistan s youth, for a nation beleaguered by terrorist attacks, suicide bombings and religious fanaticism. The opinion based survey was conducted in 62 cities of Pakistan, 17 being major and 45 being comparatively lesser developed cities of Pakistan. A target population of 1572 educated people of was siphoned through the adult franchise basis, of which 10230 were men and 549 were women. The survey was conducted from August 15 till September 20, 2007. The sample questionnaire had nine questions which were designed to gauge the view of the interviewed hailing from 62 large and small cities of Pakistan. This opinion based survey was leveled on the adult franchise basis with men and women 20 years of age and older. The surveying team reported that since the survey was meant for the educated lot, those who could write their names and read a newspaper were also included in it and extreme care was adopted in collating the results. Due to this caution in collation of information, margin of error was reduced to a mere four percentile which is internationally recognized yardstick for researchers. The survey contained internet based research, one on the interviews, telephonic conversations and correspondence through electronic mail. A total of 208 people from Karachi, 249 from Lahore, 302 from Islamabad, 126 from Peshawar, 46 from Quetta, 139 from Hyderabad, seven from Rawalpindi, 65 from Multan, 64 from Gujarat, 44 from Muzaffarabad, 33 from Okara, 91 from Faisalabad, 20 from Jacobabad, 21 from Mirpurkhas, 22 from Gilgit, three from Rahim Yar Khan, eight from Nawabshah and 145 from other cities of Pakistan expressed their opinion and shared their views.
