(Bloomberg) – Singapore’s People’s Action Party, which has been in power for the past 60 years, could secure at least 40% of votes if a general election were held tomorrow, according to a YouGov survey.

About 12% of respondents said they would pick Workers’ Party, the leading opposition group. The Singapore People’s Party, Singapore Democratic Party, National Solidarity Party and Progress Singapore Party would each garner 1% of the votes, according to the poll conducted from March 25 to April 1 and released on Tuesday.

Of the 1,845 Singaporeans polled, 29% would rather not disclose their preference and another 13% were undecided on their party of choice.

The findings come as Singapore awaits the next general election, which must be held by November. In the 2020 election, PAP won 61.2% of the popular vote - slightly more than its all-time low in 2011 - as economic woes weighed on voter sentiments.

The YouGov poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1%.
