The opinion poll, conducted by the online survey company Vase.ai, was held among 1,069 respondents across the country.
About 71 per cent of the respondents said they would not attend the Bersih 5 rally today, which is being held in the Kuala Lumpur city centre to seek the removal of Prime Minister Najib Razak from office apart from demanding institutional reforms in the country.
About 38.82 percent of those polled said the Bersih rallies were “somewhat effective” , while 36.75 per cent felt that Bersih was achieving its aim.
However, about 12.22 percent felt that Bersih 2.0 was ineffective.
About 67 per cent of respondents agreed that politicians should be invited to take part in the rally,while 32 per cent felt otherwise.
More than 70 per cent of the respondents felt that Bersih should not just focus on demanding for free and fair elections, while 27.41 per cent feel the coalition should do just that.
Three-quarters of those surveyed agreed that the Bersih rallies were a platform to promote racial unity.
Last year’s Bersih rally was described by government supporters as a “Chinese rally” because of the low turnout of Malay participants.
