As many as 86 per cent Pakistanis support President General Pervez Musharraf for his policies at home and abroad, according to a survey carried out by a Washington-based research institute.
Majority of Pakistanis, about 86 per cent, rate Musharraf 'favourably', while 60 per cent have a 'very favourable' opinion about their president, official media said quoting a survey done by the Pew Research Institute.
"This is by far the highest rating of any leader in the survey," official media quoted poll director Andrew Kohut as saying.
Musharraf also enjoyed positive ratings in Turkey and his people surveyed in Britain, the United States, Russia, and Jordan were evenly divided in their views about the Pakistan president.
The survey was conducted in nine other countries, asking a randomly selected group of people questions on various subjects ranging from the war in Iraq to their opinion about their own leaders and about other major US allies in the war on terror.
