Almost 92 per cent said the courts' verdicts must be upheld even if it means a party disbands. They reasoned that judiciary action was better than using another coup.

The survey covered 3,358 respondents nationwide.

About 79 per cent said the Preah Vihear Temple issue hurt the popularity of the People Power Party.

Almost 80 per cent said the government should not dissolve the House before the outcome of the judicial review.

Asked to list key predicaments, almost 85 per cent said they want to know when the political trouble will end.

About 62 per cent want to know whether former PM Thaksin Shinawatra may be acquitted of graft charges.

About 61 per cent wanted to know if House dissolution will happen this year. They also want to know whether PPP will be disbanded and whether Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej will be removed from office.

In responding to Samak's remarks voicing his no-confidence in the press, Thai Journalists Association secretary Pradit Ruangdit said society, not the prime minister, is the judge of media professionals.

"Everyone knows Samak often blames the media instead of honouring his own words," Pradit said.

He called on Samak to stop making one-sided statements.

Many newsmen have not complained about Samak's temper because it is their duty to accord due honour to him as prime minister and a news source, he said.

"But I have doubts whether Samak is acting worthy of his office," he said.
