Election 2018 Political Attitudes Survey in Lahore
With the next general election only a year away, now is the time to start feeling the pulse of the voters. In the first policy brief released under its Political Attitudes Survey project, the Institute of Development and Economic Alternatives (IDEAS) has released results from a survey of political opinions in three constituencies of Lahore. The brief, written by IDEAS Senior Fellow Ali Cheema and Harvard University PhD Candidate Asad Liaqat, presents voters' perceptions on topics including government performance, the honesty of leading candidates, party support, their own financial situation and the issues that matter most. Notably, economic issues emerge as the greatest concern to the surveyed constituents.
