Personally I think the race is about 50-50. The Democrats have the edge as they have the incumbent but one must realize that Bangkok was not always governed by the Democrats and was once governed by one of the PTP predecessors.

The incumbent has showed he's got flaws running the city and the main rival from the PTP's flaws are not in the political arena.

My feeling is that any side could win with the edge going to the Democrats but if it's very close the big winner could be the PTP even if they lose the election.

this is the follow-up of the previous polls done, as early as now they are trying to condition the minds of the people that this man will win in the election.. and if he will not win, they will accused the other party for fruad or if not, they will manipulate the election to prove that their polls are true and correct.

Don't worry Jacksprat -discussion 3,
Major roads lined with posters of Pongsapad or not, as long as we have read hundreds of time the popular rethoric among all those great political analysts who post comments all day long here that "Name who you want PT/UDD, people of Bkk will never vote for you as they are intelligent enough and you can not buy them", we all know that Sukhumbhand will be re-elected by 80 % while Pongsapad will get 5 %.
Won't they ?

PT is certainly throwing money at this election. Everywhere I look, the major roads are lined with posters of Pongsapad smiley as if he hadn't a care in the world. Not a one say why people should vote for him. PT is going for saturation instead.

What does this sentence actually mean?

"Abac Poll conducted a survey on the gubernatorial election between Jan 23 and 23, seeking opinions from 1,766 eligible voters in Bangkok through a door to door interviewing methodology."
