Latest NACTA poll predicts landslide win for PPP/C

 

β€” PPP/C can win up to 60% of votes, APNU  and AFC trailing
WITH just a day remaining before voting, the latest opinion tracking poll (as of Friday last) being conducted by NACTA shows the incumbent PPP/C heading for another unprecedented fifth consecutive landslide victory over the three opposition challengers. 
The poll is projecting the PPP winning 52% of the votes and could go up to 60%. APNU is at 32%, AFC 14%, TUF less than 1% and the rest of the voters not indicating a preference.  This suggests that the PPP is about 19% in front of APNU and 27% ahead of AFC.
The poll has a margin of error of 6% meaning support can vary in either direction by that amount.  The almost 2% undecided voters and shift in views over the next three days could alter the results.
NACTA said, given the undecided voters, soft support for AFC, and the margin of error, it is not impossible for PPP to get close to 60% and APNU to get close to 40% (though very unlikely).  In addition, there are several indeterminate factors in the election like turnout rate (voter apathy is still high) and whether the young voters would change their mind on or by election day switching back and forth among the three major contenders.
Voters across the races say the country is far better off than when it was ruled by the PNC (now APNU).
They point to vast improvement in infrastructure, housing, agriculture and education as well as standard of living as contrasted under the PNC. Contrary to the β€œblank slate” hypotheses proposed by some, the young voters say their parents told them of how life was very difficult when the PNC governed. And they make references to banned goods and the oppression the nation suffered during the dictatorship.
Of the ten administrative regions, the ruling PPP leads in eight by huge margins.  The PPP is also in a close fight with APNU in one Region (4) but APNU has the edge and is  likely to prevail.
The AFC is pulling votes from PPP enabling APNU to come out on top in Region 4. But the PPP has made some gains among non-traditional supporters (Mixed and Africans). If support for PPP holds up, the party could edge past APNU in Region 4. The PPP has made huge gains in the interior regions among Amerindians attracting almost 70% among that group.
NACTA, in the results of the poll which was released yesterday, noted that it is a very difficult election to predict with a high degree of certainty. It said the outcome of the election depends on voter turnout.
NACTA is a New York-based group with no affiliation with any political party. It has been conducting polls since the 1992 elections and throughout the Caribbean and has developed a reputation for being on TARGET in its predictions. NACTA said the findings are based on interviews systematically conducted over the last three weeks with some 2000 respondents (44% Indians, 30% Africans, 16% Mixed, 9% Amerindians), and 1% Others. The poll was conducted by Vishnu Bisram.

I would happily buy a copy for $35 or so what Proquest charges for electronic version.

 

No need. I have full (and seemingly unlimited) access.

I do also. But out of Guyanese loyalty I would buy even a hard copy.
