It seems to me that neither side deserves support but the west deserves less. The people of the country seem to support to coup by a wide margin.

Are they supporting the coup or are they just against the previous government? Also, how do you measure a coup's support? Juntas tend to suppress opinions.

I think the poll question was about support of the new government's policies. I can't answer the second question as I have no idea how this poll was done.
