Yingluck's political indices dropping
Play
The political situation under the Yingluck Shinawatra government is on the decline as measured by 25 political indices for the past three months.
The Suan Dusit Poll, released on Wednesday, said the January indices dropped to 5.07 out of 10 points. The indices were at 5.15 in December.
The survey said the overall indices were declining because of the government’s failing scores on a number of issues, particularly corruption, dark influences, poverty, unemployment, the cost of living and fractious politics.
Although the people in the North, the Northeast, the South and Bangkok gave higher scores on several indices relating to government performance, this was offset by the failing indices.
For example, the government’s overall performance improved to 5.35 points. But its poverty eradication dropped to 4.72 points.
Despite the publicity, the index on illicit drugs suppression dropped to 5.06 from 5.12 points.
