Majority still believes in democracy

Eighty seven per cent of Thais want politicians to lead the country through democratic means and not to just seek political gains, according to a recent poll.

In ABAC Poll, only 13.1 per cent of 1,053 respondents surveyed during November 4-9, said politicians should not change their tactics.
Asked about the mass protests, 77.3 per cent was satisfied with the harmony.
Seventy per cent was not convinced that a coup would end political conflicts now.  
The majority, 84.2 per cent, remains convinced that democracy will lead the country forward despite some bad politicians. 
The majority, 88.5 per cent, said it is necessary that the government reveal all details of budget spending to kill public doubts.  
Seventy two per cent viewed that the current government's popularity is declining. The rest said popularity either rose or stayed unchanged.
