Latest Poll suggests two thirds of Thais believe Prayuth can get Thailand out of economic mess

[spidermike007]

I think they included half of the 2200 lame generals as a base to poll. No wonder they like him. No doubt fortunes are being made. 

 

Maybe they thought the question was "do you think the PM can improve your own personal fortunes?

Where they specifically picked ????

 

1,078 vs 67 million....LOL more rubbish survey's to lift their ego's and try to blindside the population, waste of time, days are numbered Mr P.

 

1,078 is enough to give an accurate estimation if the selection is properly randomized. Easy to go wrong there, though.

If Prayut feel confident that this poll result is correct, he will call for a snap election today. 

I'm waiting for Lung Tu's promoted bestseller to be written. 

Should be riveting.

"Numbers don't lie"

 

This was a poll commissioned by a government supporting media group, using a statistically miniscule (no doubt carefully selected) sample.

 

It is "Superpoll" for crying out loud!

 

That is virtually a definition of the numbers lie!

I don't believe a word of this. I doubt that there ever was a poll.

If this percentage of Thais really do believe this, then they deserve everything they get.

Have Faith .    ????

Basic questions to ask of any opinion poll:

 

- who commissioned the poll?

- what was the exact wording of the questions asked, and what were the response options available?

- how was the sample chosen?

 

Pretty sure, as with most of these Thai polls, that will remain opaque.

 

[Magenta408]

A poll taken from the immediate family. The sampling size is ludicrous.

The number of people polled was under 2000....the population is close to 69 million I'm told....

Why they don't ask few millions like in other countries? Or how the approval polls are usually done there?

I can believe it, I've said before that you get what you vote for and absolutely deserve whatever that brings.

 

I won't be surprised if they vote this guy in again when the time comes regardless of how legitimate that election is.

 

The only way he got in last time was by using the EC to close down a credible opposition party, charge its leader with anything they can scrape up, disenfranchise over 6 million young voters, change their own rules about the number of voters to get an MP seat and take a month the declare the "true" election result.

 

Of course having 250 non-elected senators to decide who the new PM was to be 

helps.
 

BTW Prayuth was NEVER elected as PM in any vote held in Thailand.

[ThailandGuy]

1078 people who all had to show their id first before answering the poll?   Right, that will be a reliable outcome. How many of those 1078 people are on the government payrole? 55555555  Sorry only sarcasme that comes out today. I can not help it.

"If this percentage ..." : note the very small number of people contacted to deliver these stats. Totally insignificant. If you go and ask the same number in another neighborhood, you get 2/3's answering exactly the opposite! This is called making news out of noise.

I think the majority of Thais also think they can get rich by investing in the 2 digit lottery……

Latest Poll suggests two thirds of Thais believe Prayuth can get Thailand out of economic mess

Most of a tiny sample of 1078 people suggests that two thirds of the sample believe Prayuth can get Thailand out of economic mess.

It that poll representative of Thailand?  Is it an unbiased sample?
Well, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

[happydreamer]

We asked 1000 people out of 66 million.  Sounds like a well-rounded survey.  So typical of this place.

Funny how the unhappy third are all I ever meet.

 

From the noodle seller outside my front gate in Bangkok, to every taxi driver that is inclined to chat and most of the Thai professionals I count amongst my friends, I have only heard sentiments to the contrary. 

 

And they certainly aren't shy about bringing it up.

[chickenslegs]

We rarely get to know the precise questions asked in these polls. In this case I expect it was something like ...

Q1 - Who do you believe can get Thailand out of this economic mess?

(a) Prayuth

(b) Joe Biden

(c) Santa Claus

(d) The Tooth Fairy

[Fairynuff]

Three questions 

who commissioned the poll.

who carried out the poll

who took part.

 

Based on those questions you can get any answer you want.
