Singapore is getting ready for its next General Elections, and even though the date has not been announced yet, many voters have already made up their minds.
A new YouGov survey shows what Singaporeans are thinking and feeling as the country prepares for the polls.
Many voters already decided, some still unsure
According to the survey, 44 percent of eligible voters in Singapore have already decided who they will vote for. Another 13 percent are leaning towards a certain party but might still change their mind.
Around 11 percent say they will decide during the campaign period, while 3 percent will make their final decision only at the voting booth. Still, 19 percent of voters are completely undecided as of now.
Older voters, especially Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964), are the most certain about their choice — 51 percent of them say they’ve already decided.
On the other hand, younger voters like Gen Z are more flexible, with 25 percent saying they might change their mind.
Even among genders, there is a difference. Men are more likely to have made their decision (47 percent) compared to women (41 percent).
PAP still leading, but Workers’ Party gaining momentum
If elections were held tomorrow, 40 percent of the people said they would vote for the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP), while 12 percent would support the Workers’ Party.
Among those who have already made up their mind, support for PAP is stronger — 63 percent would vote for PAP and 15 percent for the Workers’ Party.
From a gender perspective, women are more likely to support PAP (42 percent) than men (38 percent). On the other hand, men are more likely to support the Workers’ Party (15 percent), compared to women (9 percent).
People who earn more money also show stronger support for PAP. Among high-income earners (those making between SGD 10,000 and SGD 14,999 a month), 54 percent say they will vote for the ruling party.
Public opinion on political parties
The YouGov survey also looked at how favourable people feel about different political parties.
PAP remains the most popular, with 50 percent of Singaporeans having a positive opinion of it. But the Workers’ Party is close behind, with 42 percent viewing it favourably.
Other parties like the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), and Singapore People’s Party (SPP) have some support but are less popular.
Lesser-known parties like Red Dot United, People’s Alliance for Reform, and National Solidarity Party are still unfamiliar to many voters, especially among younger groups like Gen Z and millennials.
Does PAP still deserve to lead?
Even though PAP is popular, not everyone is fully happy with its performance. Only 43 percent of Singaporeans think the party has done well and deserves to be re-elected. Meanwhile, 22 percent feel that PAP has been in power for too long and it is time for a change.
