Opinion survey renders damning verdict on gov't and Samak

Slightly more than half of 2,008 respondents said they were dissatisfied with the way the government addressing their grievances.

The opinion survey took place between May 20 and May 21 in Bangkok and surrounding areas.

Almost 40 per cent said Samak should not be in the new Cabinet lineup, followed by Interior Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung (38 per cent) and PM's Office Minister Jakrapob Penkair (34 per cent).

Asked about the political predicament, about 88 per cent blamed the behaviour of politicians as the leading attribute, followed by the push for charter amendments (61 per cent) and coup possibility (60 per cent).
