  For several elections it's hovered around the 1/3 mark. That's not bad by regional standards, and bear in mind several large and populous regions in Afghanistan are non-Pushtun and even follow different branches of Islam. There's just no way the Taliban can conceivably command anything more than middling minority support. They just have more guns and a bloodier determination to use them. Unfortunately, as is often the case, that’s all it takes.
