Majority of Thais Disagree With Coup: Suan Dusit Survey Results
In a recent survey conducted by Suan Dusit University between July 1 and 4, it was revealed that the current public sentiment in Thailand regarding military coups is largely negative. The poll, which gathered responses from 1,167 respondents across the country, indicates that **most Thais are opposed to military coups and view them as undemocratic**.
The poll did not provide responses about the expected change from the political rally held at Victory Monument on June 28 by the group "Uniting the Power of the Land for the Defence of Thai Sovereignty." However, it did reveal that **the majority of the population is unwilling to participate in political protests**, reflecting a general lack of interest in political upheaval or instability at this time.
The survey showed that **37.62% of respondents expect a platform for all sides to express their opinions at the political rally**, while **57.03% of respondents expect House dissolution and a snap election from the political rally**. Furthermore, **58.58% of respondents expect the Prime Minister's resignation from the political rally**.
Interestingly, **26.48% of respondents expect significant change from the political rally**, while **48.93% of respondents expect a moderate change**. On the other hand, only **4.20% of respondents believe that the political rally is not expected to result in no change at all**.
In a surprising turn of events, during the protest, some leaders urged the military to stage a coup. However, **16.8% of respondents do not believe a coup will happen**, and **11.74% of respondents had no comment**. Meanwhile, **28.96% of respondents said they agree with a coup, viewing it as a solution to the political crisis**.
