In August 2009, Pew Global Attitudes Project published a report on Pakistan, titled:
Pakistani Public Opinion
GROWING CONCERNS ABOUT EXTREMISM, CONTINUING DISCONTENT
WITH U.S.
You can view the full report at: http://pewglobal.org/reports/pdf/265.pdf
But here is the section of the report on Pakistani public opinion on capital punishment including Apostasy.
"One of the ironies in the survey is the extent to which Pakistanis embrace some of the severe laws associated with the Taliban and al Qaeda, even as they reject Islamic extremism and these extremist groups. The new poll finds broad support for harsh punishments: 78% favor death for those who leave Islam; 80% favor whippings and cutting off hands for crimes like theft and robbery; and 83% favor stoning adulterers."
