This means that Pita is now the country’s most preferred candidate, followed by Prayut, then Paethongtan Shinawatra of the Pheu Thai Party, and then Khunying Sudarat, leader of the Thai Srang Thai Party. The next candidates on the list represent a wide variety of political parties. 3.61% of respondents said they had no answers, or were not interested. […]

Mmm moves probably being put forward to bring charges against Pita then, must be something they can get him removed on 🙄

Yes , Its rather sad and scary how the current cabal came to be!

The regime probably has a thick file containing many political fodder , just waiting in the wings.

Poll results based on little over 2,000 people 🥺

This comes up every time - if it’s weighted properly it doesn’t matter whether the poll size is 2 or 2 billion

How is it weighted?  All they say is 'chosen at random ages x to y'.   Do they take a sampling of mobile phone users from each province or only registered land lines?

In Western countries it's a genuinely weighted result with proportionately higher number of citizens surveyed.

That's why I said 'if' - all reputable analysts will weight it, but if just the first 2000 numbers in the phone book then yes it can be dismissed as pointless.

Thing with polls is you can never discount human stupidity. 

Conduct a poll with a leading question like "Do you like dogs"? and probably 80% will say yes.

If the next question is "Given that you like little fluffy poodles do you mind if they bite you" and probably 30% will say no. If you ask "If a soi dog took an enormous bite out of your throat would you mind"? and 99% will say yes. 

Polls are always driven to give the answers the poll setters want which is always the same answer the person who payed for it wants.

Always look at WHO commissioned any poll and what their agenda is.
