Taliban Growing More Unpopular in Pakistan

By

A new Gallup poll offers some more glimmers of good news from Pakistan (despite today's horrific carnage):

More intriguing:

'The Taliban lost support in every region of Pakistan. But nowhere are they more unpopular than in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), ground zero for a full-scale military offensive against the Taliban last May. In November-December 2009, 1% of NWFP residents said the Taliban have a positive influence, down from 11% in June. The percentage saying the Taliban's influence is positive in Baluchistan, which abuts South Waziristan, dropped from 26% to 5%.'
