The study highlights hike in approval rating of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which surged from 13% to 24% over the past year. This growth in support reflects a positive shift in public opinion towards the PML-N, especially as many respondents expressed a more favorable view of the party compared to last year.

Pakistan Peoples Party shows a slight jump to 1.22pc, and Jamaat-e-Islami lost around half of support. Balochistan Awami Party, Pakistan Muslim League (Q) also lost support, whereas right-wing Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan gained support currently hovering around 3.12 percent.
