Political trust is citizens’ confidence in their governments and institutions and is considered to have a significant role in political stability and effective policy making. The concept is especially important for Pakistan where government legitimacy is rarely uncontested; and the recent controversies surrounding the election of third consecutive civilian government in the country makes this empirical study even more timely and relevant. This paper examines the effects of a host of social structural and individual psychological variables on political trust by analyzing Pakistani citizens’ confidence in government, parliament, courts, armed forces, and political parties using Ordinal Logistic Regression on a nationwide survey of 1200 respondents conducted by Gallup Pakistan for World Values Survey. The results indicate that income, education and interpersonal trust have positive relationship; whereas unemployment and religiosity have negative relationship with political trust. The independent nature of personality has positive relationship with confidence in armed forces and negative relationship with confidence in courts. The women are more likely to have confidence in government than men and are less likely to have confidence in armed forces. In comparison to the Punjab, the people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
are more likely to have confidence in government, parliament, and political parties. The people from Sindh and Baluchistan are less likely to have confidence in parliament and armed forces respectively.
