Junta enjoys 85% approval rating: Suan Dusit poll

PEOPLE still view the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)'s performance as satisfactory although it got a slightly lower score in the latest opinion poll after 10 months in power.

As high as 85 per cent of respondents had a positive attitude towards the NCPO, according to results of the survey by Suan Dusit Rajabhat University, which were released yesterday.
The survey showed people believe the most outstanding traits of the NCPO are its commitment to solving the country’s problems and boosting tourism, its decisiveness and tough stance against graft. 
The respondents gave the NCPO an average score of 8.10, out of 10, for its performance after the tenth month, a slight fall from 8.17 in the ninth month. In the first month after the coup, the NCPO got an average score of 8.82.
When asked what they regarded as the biggest challenge for the NCPO, most respondents picked economic and political reform issues. The problem they want the NCPO to fix urgently is the high cost of living. They also suggested that the NCPO heed suggestions from all sectors.
