Dusit Poll: Over 79 percent believe roadmap will be fulfilled
 

 

BANGKOK: -- Over 79 percent respondents to a recent opinion poll by the Suan Dusit University are confident the government and the National Council for Peace and Order will fulfil the roadmap within the set timeframe.

 

Dusit Poll gauged the opinions of 1,148 individuals regarding the roadmap during August 11-13.

 

The poll shows 78.31 percent of the respondents agree the government is determined to stick to the roadmap while 73.78 percent want the prime minister to ensure transparency and justice in the performance of duties of all governmental agencies.

 

The poll also shows: 79.53 percent are confident the government and the NCPO will fulfil the roadmap within the set timeframe; 71.17 percent said the roadmap is good and can solve the country’s problems and 66.72 percent believe election will be held in 2017.

 

43.99 percent have expectations on the roadmap because they have confidence in the prime minister while 17.42 percent admit they have high expectations on the roadmap.

 

Dusit Poll also surveyed the opinions of 5,849 eligible voter during August 2-6 about the reasons they support or reject the draft charter in the referendum and the reasons they support or rejected the attached question.

 

The poll shows 38.95 percent of the people who endorsed the draft constitution in the August 7 referendum believe the draft is better than the previous charters because it was screened by experts and it advocates something new which will be beneficial to the people and the country.

 

21.12 percent said they want reforms, political changes and the country to move forward with strong economy while 8.51 percent said they like the working style of the government and the National Council for Peace and Order.

 

50.79 percent of those who rejected the draft charter reasoned that some clauses of the draft are unclear, unreasonable or ambiguous; 18.50 percent said the draft deprives the public of their right of participation, undemocratic and lacks transparency while 10.24 percent said they are afraid the draft will cause more damaged if accepted.

 

For those who rejected the attached question, 79.24 percent of them said the prime minister and senators should be elected by the people. For those who agreed that senators should have the right to select the prime minister, 27.54 percent of them said this is something new that should benefit and fit with political situation in Thailand.

Was this poll conducted amongst the usual 1,521 people?  What exactly is the time frame as they keep shifting the dates?

In another poll conducted 33,257,322 or 84.6% of the Thai poupulation that were eligible  to vote said they chose not to because there was no debate allowed 84.6% threats an intimidation 84.6%  or the person that they actually voted in by the 2nd biggest landslide in Thai history has been taken away from them 84.6%.

Did they include the count of the whole international community which fully understands and support the road map ergo must believe it will be fulfilled on time   ?

[PatOngo]

79% of 1,148............I'm convinced!

As soon as the word Dusit poll was mentioned I switched off believing nothing.

Whatever happened to the Thai Researchers For Community Happiness mob  ?

[waldroj]

In response to BigBadGeordie's observation, the situation in Thailand is quite different - as we are told (by the junta), that everybody is feeling Happy!

 

Seriously though, Section 1 of the (soon to be ratified) Thai Constitution states that Thailand is one and indivisible Kingdom. In that context, the Dusit Poll would have sampled people from a homogeneous population, and the responses should indeed reflect the nation's views.

 

Alas, Thailand is anything but homogeneous, and while the junta may indeed tout their roadmap to Thailand's future, the simple fact that they have avoided the critical issue of reconciliation means the country will reach a destination that is not what most Thais are hoping for.

As much as I'd like to, I'm too scared to hit the l@#e t@#s button.

in a recent poll of senators 99% indicated they were "certain" they would elect and "unelected" PM and 1% felt it "would be them"

well thats all very funny but i heard 73% of statistics are just made up.

One thing about road maps one  may not be overly happy about the final destination. Also road maps can have detours sinkholes all manner of travel dangers. Methinks the destination will not be the most favorable to the majority but a a boon to the elite and the military. You have to travel the road to get to the destination and the travel part is the most frustrating part. If it comes to the peoples interpretation and the "governing" interpretation guess who the winner will be.

"Over 79 percent respondents to a recent opinion poll by the Suan Dusit University are confident the government and the National Council for Peace and Order will fulfil the roadmap within the set timeframe. "  

 

And 100% said they weren't aware that most government statistics are fabricated.

[Caveat Emptor]

If the pollsters actually bother to leave their offices all they need to do to get the positive results they need is to canvass in the nearest military camp.
