Thai Premier Paetongtarn’s Support Slumps in Poll Amid Protest

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s support has slumped to single digits in an opinion poll as the premier’s popularity reels from a diplomatic scandal.

Only 9.2% of respondents support Paetongtarn, the youngest daughter of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, according to the June 19-25 survey by the National Institute of Development Administration, or Nida. That compares with 30.9% who backed her as premier in the previous survey conducted in March.
