57% supported Imran Khan's ouster as they believed Imran Khan failed to improve Pakistan's economy. 

A survey of Gallup Pakistan has now revealed that 43% people were not happy with the ouster of Imran Khan while the rest 57% were happy that Khan had to exit the government. The survey was conducted on 1,000 men and women in over 100 districts, soon after the confidence vote on Saturday night, reports said. Those who were unhappy about Imran Khan's ouster still considered Khan an honest politician while anger against Khan was mostly on the ground of the failing economy, the poll revealed.

Imran Khan's party has already started claiming that he has some big surprises to reveal.
