No real surprise there. The upcoming Bangkok Governor elections have given the PM the renewed exposure necessary, the chance to be seen and smile.

Definitely not hard to be better than her brother's sycophants but please don't tell Chalerm somebody is more popular than him

I'm sure our Dept. PM Pol. Captain Chalerm would be the first to recognize that you praise where praise is due and Ms. Yingluck is the real PM after all

No if she can only get rid of the stigma of being her brothers mouthpiece...

If only YS and her government would take a leaf out of Bulgarian gov't book.

The Yingluck government has failed the test,

The word is out and with no ace up their sleeve the rot will continue.

In a nationwide survey conducted 24–25 December 2010, by Bangkok University, the Democrat government's two years in power were rated 4.61 out of 10

The Yingluck government just as good as the Abhisit government two years ago.

Well, at least now I can sleep peacefully at night in the knowledge that the real PM Yingluck government is not really much better than the 'unelectable' Democrats party

So the PTP government who could rule in their own right and as were constantly told were elected by the "majority" of Thais, are now as popular as the last minority government. So much for riding the red kwai..........

wait, there were some new PM exposure i didnt know about?

Let's face it, she hasn't got much to beat there.

And BB will be happy she scored highly for her devotion.

No if she can only get rid of the stigma of being her brothers mouthpiece...

Can't see that happening....she remains the parrot

And that's what really counts here?

I thought Chalerm was the ace up there sleeve. I guess that went down the tube when the ear medicine came in.

Of course she is more acceptable. Any one would be with that many Photo ops under there belt.

Then you take a look at the joke she is "supposed" to be head of and it would be almost imposable to be less popular than them.

I thought the OP was about Yingluck and her government. Oh I get it but...but...but...the democrats.

He makes one wonder what he teaches and what country he is in.

Pity the poor students.

Maybe he is one of those teachers in the red shirt schools. Don't have too know much there.

Duh you no free Thaksin free you duh. Thaksin good. Thaksin free you. Duh

The last Duh was for the advanced classes.

Hub of 'Duh Elite', perhaps ?

Looking at the OP, I'm struck by the way the statisticians/pollsters profess to measure this stuff accurately to the nearest 2-decimal-paces, how likely is that ?

Lies, dam_n lies, and extremely-accurate government statistics !

Could someone please explain the parameters to me? 6.04 for devotion - to what or whom? Her brother perhaps - certainly nor parliamentary attendance.

5.48 for honesty. That would have to be based on recent history, and that she never says anything meaningful.

4.9 for decisiveness? 4 points must be for deciding what to wear each day.

The percentages quoted are not exactly worth writing home about and as usual Thai politicians set themselves a low standard which they consistently fail to maintain. Sad thing is the public let them get away with it

And your point is? The current gang are marginly less crap than the previous lot? So? According to surveys for which we don't know the mehtodolgies used.

This is about the peformance, or lack of, of the incumbent bunch running the country. But as usual, their plaudits and propagandists can only whine about others and hope to divert.

And your statement will make sense just as soon as any nationwide protests are observed.

The last serious attempt at an organized anti-government protest fizzled out in less than a day and it was in a single location.
