This survey was carried out among a sample of 1550 men and women in rural and urban areas of all four provinces of the country, between August 27 and September 03, 2018. Error margin is estimated to be about ± 2-3 per cent at 95% confidence level.

In a statement, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the government would present a comprehensive programme to the nation showing its performance and direction in education, health, poverty alleviation and other vital sectors during the first 100 days.

He said the first 100 days report assumed a significant importance in any government as it informed the people about government’s direction and future course of action.
