Gallup Pakistan's Poll for 2018 Elections
According to November 2017 polls and survey by Gallup Pakistan, nationwide results show that a majority of the people in Punjab prefer TLP, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stands with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, while the province of Sindh prefers Pakistan Peoples Party. A large majority of Pakistani people wanted elections on time.

In 2013, Gallup Pakistan's poll about 2013 Pakistani general election turned out to be largely correct because it predicted, in April 2013, a comfortable lead for Nawaz Sharif's party, Pakistan Muslim League (N) ahead of the 11 May 2013 elections.

Gallup Pakistan's Poll for 2024 Elections
In January 2024, Gallup Pakistan released on its website a report titled Political Weather Report One Month Before the General Election 2024.

The report made the following key assertions which were proven correct on February 8, 2024.

Punjab: The PTI and PML-N were in a tough competition in Punjab, 34 per cent and 32 per cent of the sample survey respondents saying they would vote for the two parties respectively. The General Election 2024 results show that the predicted outcome was razor-thin close to the actual outcome. PTI-backed independents got more votes than the score was 35 per cent for the PTI and 34 per cent for the PML-N.

The same survey suggested that, despite significant efforts, the PPP was unable to raise its vote bank and the study suggested a 6.0 per cent vote bank for the PPP which has also been proven correct. Lastly, the report said: “Survey results show that Punjab vote bank reflects return to 2018 General Election political landscape”. This has proven to be correct as well as the share of votes that the top three parties has received is almost the same as what they got in Punjab in the 2018 general election. In 2018, the PTI was 1.0 per cent ahead of the PML-N in Punjab.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: The report suggested that KP has an overwhelming support for the PTI (45 per cent of the survey respondents said they would vote for it), and trailing much behind would be JUI-F at 15 per cent, PML-N (9.0 per cent), PPP (7.0 per cent) and ANP (7.0 per cent). The election results match almost completely within this prediction. The PTI has received 44 per cent votes, JUI-F 15 per cent votes, PPP received 6.0 per cent votes and ANP got 7.0 per cent. The prediction and the election result is within a 1-2 per cent margin.

Sindh: The report suggested the PPP would be the single largest party in Sindh with 44 per cent votes. The current election data shows 44 per cent of the voters in Sindh have voted for the PPP.

In other words, the electoral outcome predicted by Gallup Pakistan matched the actual outcome.
