Most politicians have failed to learn the hardships of people in rural areas, according to the Assumption University Poll.
A number of 2,119 people in 17 provinces were surveyed during August 30-September 7 on their perception on politicians' behaviours.
According to Noppadon Kannika, the director of ABAC Poll, what's worrying is 61.2 per cent of the respondents said that politicians have failed to learn the real problems of people in rural areas. 48.9 per cent viewed that opposition MPs could not be role models for children, against 45.7 per cent for coalition parties' MPs.
The majority of them, 55.4 per cent, has been informed of the luxury lifestyle of coalition parties' politicians.
Asked if they have ever received any kind of assistance from politicians, 68.5 per cent gave the "No" answer. Among the rest, 24.3 per cent said they were assisted by coalition parties' MPs while 7.2 per cent by opposition parties.
Despite political chaos, 83.7 per cent showed confidence in the democratic regime. Pheu Thai Party remains the most favourite party, as 44.6 per cent of the respondents said they would vote for the party if there is an election, against 22.9 per cent for Democrat Party.
