People want govt to keep pre-poll promises, Prayut most trusted: survey

An opinion survey found that most people want the new government of Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha to keep its pre-election promises and that the most trusted member of the current Cabinet is Prayut. 

The survey was conducted on 1,063 respondents across the country from Wednesday to Friday by Dr Noppadol Kannikar’s Super Poll.
Noppadol said 91.4 per cent of the respondents said they want the promises made during election campaigns kept, with 83.3 per cent saying they want the income guarantee promised to farmers by the Democrat Party to materialise. Measures like shoring up the price of rubber sheet to at least Bt60 per kilogram, rice at Bt10,000 per tonne and oil palm at Bt10 per kg were promised by the Democrats. 
Phalang Pracharat’s promise to boost monthly salaries for bachelor degree holders to Bt20,000 came in second with 74.2 per cent votes, while the party’s plan to increase daily minimum wage from Bt400 to Bt425 came in third with 70.2 per cent, Noppadol said. 
When asked to name the minister they trust the most in the new Cabinet, 73.8 per cent chose Prayut. 
Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit came in second with 7.1 per cent, followed by Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam (3.6 per cent), Deputy Prime Minister Auntin Charnvirakul (3.2 per cent) and Somkid Jatusripitak (2.4 per cent).
