Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's reaction to the latest Nida Poll suggests he was unsettled by the results.
The survey, conducted from June 29 to July 2, showed Mr Anutin trailing People's Party (PP) leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut as voters' preferred choice for prime minister. Mr Natthaphong topped the poll with more than 26% support, compared with Mr Anutin's 21.7%. The PP also outperformed the ruling party, 35.8% to 26.6%, in the widely respected survey.
