The Nida Poll’s third‑quarter 2025 survey serves as a stark warning to the ‘Anutin 2’ government, led by the Bhumjaithai Party. Prime Minister Anutin Chanweerakul’s approval rating slipped to 13.8 %, down from 21.7 % in the previous quarter and 29.4 % at the start of the year. The party’s support fell to 12.1 %, from 17.0 % in Q2 and 26.6 % in Q1. The decline marks two consecutive quarters of falling numbers while Anutin leads the coalition. Importantly, the data were collected before heavy rains and major flooding inundated Bangkok, its outskirts and several eastern provinces in late September, meaning the public’s reaction to the flood crisis is not yet captured. The upcoming Nida poll will have to gauge whether the floods and the looming no‑confidence debate—expected to raise issues ranging from local‑level corruption and senator scandals to AI passport allegations—will further erode confidence in Anutin and his cabinet. Analysts warn that cumulative problems under the current administration could sink deeper into public opinion, turning today’s warning signs into a lasting loss of trust.
