These polls being conducted are mind condition and initiated by those politicians who would do anything to win. They are insinuating that most are inclined to support vote buying, politician who will lost in the up coming election will take this poll to declare the election failure due to vote buying.

What a fiasco. 67.68% said "yes" they would be involved in vote buying.

'ongoing political conflict' - It might have something to do with the DSI bringing charges against only opposition members, charges which frankly are quite absurd.

"......... slight majority, 53.88% believed the ongoing political conflict would continue after the gubernatorial election"

My basic premise on all these so-called Public Opinion Polls, is that they reflect Opposition opinion rather than those of the Public, considering their source. The above quote attests to this. What "ongoing political conflict?". The opposition political base is convinced that if they are not in power, things are in dire straits. The political space in every country is heated, and Thailand is no exception. I'm sure if they could win an election, there would be no more "ongoing political conflict' in their opinion.
