According to the findings of a survey, conducted by the US-based International Republican Institute (IRI) between June 1 and 15, about 86 per cent of the respondents believe that Pakistan is heading in a wrong direction while only 12 per cent think the direction is right.
American institutes are not a reliable (or neutral) source in conducting these types of surveys. How can a country, that has so much (negative) involvement in Pakistan, be considered to be providing such authentic surveys without biases?
86% is an exaggerated figure, I think. The real figure may be around 60-70%.
