People's confidence rises to 5.38: survey

By The Nation

 

 

People scored their confidence in the potential of the country at 5.38 points out of 10, with a score of 4.89 for their confidence in the economy, a survey found.

 

The survey was conducted by the Bangkok Poll and the results were announced Saturday.

 

In the survey, 1,127 people were asked how confident they were as the National Council for Peace and Order entered its fourth year in power. They rated their confidence in the country’s potential at 5.38 on a scale of 10 – an increase of 0.39 points on a similar poll last year.

 

Confidence in politics topped the list, but at 5.67 was just over half the potential highest score of 10. Confidence in social and environmental issues came second, with 5.58 points, and the economy came last on the list, at 4.89.

 

When asked about politics, people rated their confidence in the fight against corruption at 5.92, and gave a score of only 5.43 on the issue of reform and the development of democracy.

 

Confidence in the economy has fallen by 0.18 points from 5.07 last year. The poll suggested that people had less confidence in their economic status, giving it only 4.01 out of 10. On the question of whether the country had the potential to compete with other Asean members, the rating was 5.57.

This level of optimism is technically referred too as: Same poop different day optimism.

Which is slightly lower than: Hey look I found 5 baht in the pocket of my old jacket optimism

A smidgen over 50% of the people surveyed had confidence in the potential of their country.

 

A smidgen under 50% of the people surveyed had confidence in the economy of their country.

 

According to the government, 100% confidence.

 

Way to go!!!
