May-03 08:05
The latest opinion poll from NIDA ahead of the 14 May legislative election shows centre-left progressive Move Forward Party (MFP) leader Pita Limjaroenrat leading in the 'preferred prime minister' stakes. However, the populist Pheu Thai (PT) of Paethongtarn Shinawatra leads in polling both at the constituency and party list level.
- NIDA poll: Preferred Prime Minister: Pita (MFP): 37% (+15), Paethongtarn (PT): 30% (-8), Prayut (UTN): 15% (+1), Sretta (PT): 7% (+1), Sudarat (TST): 2% (-2). +/- vs. 3-7 April 2023. Fieldwork: 24-28 April 2023. Sample size: 2,500
- NIDA poll: Constituency vote: PT: 39% (-10), MFP: 35% (+13), UTN: 12% (+1), DP: 4% (-1). +/- vs. 3-7 April 2023. Fieldwork: 24-28 April 2023. Sample size: 2,500
- NIDA poll: Party-list vote: PT: 38% (-10), MFP : 36% (+14), UTN: 13% (+1), DP: 3% (-2). +/- vs. 3-7 April 2023. Fieldwork: 24-28 April 2023. Sample size: 2,500
- The PT has bled significant support in recent weeks, and Paethongtarn's return to the campaign trail following the birth of her second child could prove crucial in boosting her party's flagging support.
