Close to 73% of Pakistanis consider the country is headed in a wrong direction.<\/p>\n

As far as the economic situation of the country is concerned, the national confidence looks to be waning.

Sixty-two percent did not respond to the query, while 27% found the economic conditions to be weak, 11% on the other hand found them to be strong.<\/p>\n
