Singaporeans start defining their voting choices ahead of upcoming General Elections

As Singapore prepares for its upcoming General Elections, recent data from YouGov Surveys reveals important insights into voter sentiment and preferences. Although the election has not been called yet, 44% of Singapore citizens who are eligible voters have already decided on who they will vote for. Another 13% are leaning towards a particular party but remain open to change. 11% will make their final decision during the campaign period, and 3% will decide at the voting booth. Additionally, 19% remain undecided.

Voter certainty by demographics

Voter certainty is most prominent among Baby boomers (born between 1946-1964), with half of respondents in this group stating they’ve already made their decision (51%). In contrast, GenZ voters are more likely than others to change their minds, with 25% saying so. Among the genders, men are more likely than women to be sure of their voting decision, with 47% of men confident in their choice compared to 41% of women.

Current voting intentions

When asked about their voting intentions if the General Elections were held tomorrow, 40% of respondents say they would vote for the PAP, while 12% would vote for the Workers’ Party. Of those who have already made their voting decision, 63% would support the PAP, while 15% would vote for the Workers' Party.

Women are more likely than men to support PAP (42% vs 38%), while men are more inclined to back the Workers' Party (15% vs 9%). High-income individuals earning between $10,000 and $14,999 per month are most likely to vote for PAP, with 54% expressing support.

Party favourability

YouGov data shows that while the People’s Action Party (PAP) enjoys a broad base of support with 50% of Singaporeans holding a favourable view, the Workers' Party is giving tough competition to the ruling party with 42% support.

Parties such as the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), Singapore People’s Party (SPP) and others, have garnered some favourability but seem to be less popular.

Other parties, such as Red Dot United, the People’s Alliance for Reform, the National Solidarity Party, and the Singapore People Party, are relatively less known, with a significant portion of Singaporeans unfamiliar with them. Unfamiliarity is notably higher among Gen Z and millennials compared to older generations.

Even though PAP enjoys favourability, only 43% Singaporeans believe that the party has been performing well and deserves re-election, while 22% feel that it has been in power for too long and that a change is needed.

Methodology

YouGov interviewed 1845 Singaporean citizens aged 21 years and above between March 25 and April 1, 2025. The effective margin of error on this survey is ±3.099%. YouGov conducts its polling using active sampling techniques from our online panel. When using Active Sampling, restrictions are put in place to ensure that only the people contacted are allowed to participate. We target specific demographics to ensure that the final sample is representative of the population by age, gender, ethnicity, and electorate. This approach is used for YouGov polling globally.
