Worst not over yet, poll suggests
A survey of Bangkok residents suggests about half the city's residents believe they are living through a political crisis and almost 36 per cent expect tension to intensify after today's vote, an Abac poll said yesterday.
The survey was conducted from 1,458 respondents on Friday to find out if people thought the election would end the political turmoil. About one in three of respondents said the turmoil would persist regardless of the outcome, an equal number thought the situation might spiral out of control, and about 25 per cent said political peace would probably be restored. Asked whether the authorities should use force to disperse the protesters, 43 per cent said 'no' while 26.6 per cent said 'yes', with about 30 per cent expressing no opinion on the matter.
