The Move Forward party is leading the Pheu Thai party by a wide margin in terms of popularity, especially among people aged under 20 and those aged 20-29, although most people say they won't vote for either party in the next election, according to Super Poll.
Meanwhile, a NIDA Poll indicates that 39.4% of respondents dispute the claim that Pheu Thai is the leader of change, while 18.85% say they don't believe in Pheu Thai either, in comparison to 33,67% who believe Pheu Thai is the leader of change in Thai society.
The Super Poll Research Centre gathered the opinions of 1,154 individuals from various professions and occupations between April 15th and 20th.
The survey indicates that 45.1% of the male and 46.1% of the female respondents say they will not vote for either Move Forward or Pheu Thai, but will vote for other parties. 37.3% of the females and 37% of the males say they will vote for Move Forward. 17.9% of males and 16.6% of females say they will vote for Pheu Thai.
An intriguing aspect of the survey results is that 76.2% of the respondents under 20 are in favor of Move Forward, but the popularity declines with age. 48.9% of respondents in the 20-29 age group prefer Move Forward. 34.2% in the 30-39 age group will vote for Move Forward and the percentage of those who prefer the party decreases as they get older.
For the Pheu Thai party, age does not affect how the respondents will vote, but the survey shows that as people grow older, they are more likely to vote for other parties instead of Move Forward or Pheu Thai.
Occupation-wise, 69.2% of students and 43.5% of the unemployed say they will vote for Move Forward, while 14.6% of farmers support Pheu Thai. 56% of government officials say they will not vote for either Move Forward or Pheu Thai. 39.9% of private company office workers will vote for Move Forward, while 48.4% of freelancers will not vote for either party.
Meanwhile, a NIDA Poll shows that 32.98% of the respondents believe it's impossible for Pheu Thai to win the next election, compared to 21.14% who believe it is possible.
The NIDA Poll was carried out between April 9th and 11th among 1,310 people focusing on Thaksin’s role and Pheu Thai party’s chances in the next election.
