A very interesting poll…

Threat No. 1: 59% Pakistanis say US, only 18% say India - Yahoo! India News

So the perception changes?

^^ ask them also where they would like to immigrate to, USA would also be #1 :rotfl:

If the poll is anywhere close to true, people in Pakistan are still delusional, especially about Taliban. Sad.

But it would be interesting to see what the questions were like.

Lolzzzzzzzzzzz

But only the Middle class and the Upper class people are actually managed to get in to U.S.So we have to see what section of the society ,the poll targeted.Once again,political thoughts and personal thoughts can vary .

It might not be just due to the drone attack..

I'm totally unsure what population segment was the target to get such poll results. I visit Pakistan every year and most of times I discuss this situation with people of every trade, not giving my opinion rather seeking their's. And I know for sure that people even if they do not like USA but "threat" is a very big word to describe it. Most of the people still consider India as the no. 1 threat, which it surely is. Unless the target for this poll is only living in FATA or baitullah maisud's group, this simply appears baseless.

I do not think middle class or rich pakis treat India as No.1 enemy.

Absolutely! I stand firm on that. Any poll that doesnt reflect the opinion of mass demographics will remain bogus, no matter whoever conducts that.

the biggest fight is the internal fight 'fight within the mind'

I wonder how you would know the opinion of mass demographics - without a poll ??

Not sure why is it so hard for you to understand. I already mentioned in one of the posts above, the way I get an idea from general public. Pakistanis are not confined to Taliban group only. If you travel from Karachi to Khyber and sit with the people who are ready to deliver everything what they think about, you'll easily get an idea of how and what they access different things about. Specially politics, I think even a 10 yrs old kid may render a very good speech on current affairs. But again, for that you have to mingle with the general public, and yes thats what your poll will be!!

18

So you would trust the responses from your random interactions with general public but not the result of a scientifically conducted Gallup poll ??

OK, got it....

19

Evidently that is what Gallup did.

Oh do you think Karachiittes treat USA as no. 1 threat? Not sure how many karachiites hv delivered this to you or aljazeerah. As I said, I just dont believe on this poll results at all.
