BANGKOK, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's interim government led by Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont could expect a "rosy" Valentine's Day this year, as a recent poll released Sunday found 73.5 percent of Bangkokians willing to give a rose to the government for its performance.

    According to Thai News Agency, the poll was conducted by Ramkhamhaeng University, one of the leading universities in Thailand, among 1,470 adults in Bangkok during Feb. 9-10, which found the majority said the government deserves at least one rose.

    66.2 percent of the interviewees said they would like to give one to 99 roses, 4.4 percent would give 100 to 999 roses, and 2.9 percent would hand 1,000-9,999 roses to the government on Valentine's Day, which falls on this coming Wednesday.

    The government proves more popular among female respondents and teenagers than male and older generations. It is also favored by those educated to degree levels, while business people show least affection for the government as they are the most economical with roses.

    Although most interviewed were found willing to praise the current government with symbol roses, only 8.6 percent believed there is true love between a government and the people, while 51.3 percent said they were not sure and 40.1 percent rejected the idea.
