Suan Dusit Poll Reports Decline in Thai Political Index for October 2026
A recent survey by Suan Dusit Poll indicates a slight dip in the Thai political index, with opposition performance outshining the government.
According to a survey conducted by Suan Dusit Poll at Suan Dusit University, the Thai political index for October 2026 has fallen to an average of 3.52 out of 10, down from 3.56 in September. The study, which gathered opinions from 2,036 participants nationwide between October 27 and 30, evaluated 25 different political indicators. The findings highlight that the performance of the opposition party received the highest score at 4.30, followed by public participation. Conversely, the current government struggled to gain significant approval, with no specific government figures standing out to the respondents. Notably, the 'Thai Chuay Thai Plus' initiative was identified as the most popular policy among the public. For residents and expatriates, these findings reflect the current sentiment regarding political stability and government effectiveness. While the poll provides a snapshot of public opinion, it remains to be seen how these perceptions will influence future policy adjustments or political discourse in the coming months. The data serves as a barometer for the current political climate in Thailand, though it does not predict specific legislative outcomes.
