Pollster tells of ‘late swing’
...sees narrow win by competing parties

IN one week, the electorate will be heading to the polls, and, according to data scientist Nigel Henry, there is still a need to watch for a possible “late swing” in a tight fight where the next Government may win with a “mere handful of seats”.

At the request of the Express yesterday, Henry was commenting on a poll conducted by political analyst and pollster Prof Hamid Ghany published in yesterday’s Sunday Guardian.

According to the poll, the April 28 general election is still too close to call.

Ghany’s poll, conducted between April 10 and 13, gave the UNC a statistical edge over the PNM in the marginal seats in Trinidad.

According to the poll, 1,650 respondents were asked in Trinidad who they would vote for if the general election were held tomorrow – 45% said the UNC coalition and 30% said the PNM.

The poll also stated that the PNM is in the lead to retain control of the two seats in Tobago.

It further noted the impact of vote-splitting in Tobago, with Watson Duke’s Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), and in Trinidad, the combined support for the Patriotic Front (7%) and the National Transformation Alliance (6%), creating a 13% voter deviation looming over the PNM and UNC.

Contacted yesterday, Henry—who has 18 years’ experience and has conducted several independent polls for the Express—said there could be a shift in the final week.

He said, “Dr Ghany’s poll has shown that neither of the major parties, either in Trinidad or Tobago, has run away with the support of the clear majority of the electorate. As the report acknowledges, there’s still enough time for the possibility of a late swing, but as it stands, it looks like the next Government will win by a mere handful of seats.”

Prime Minister Stuart Young has said the People’s National Movement (PNM) commissioned an internal poll that showed the party leading the race, with favour in four marginals currently held by the United National Congress (UNC).

Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar said her party has also conducted polling, which suggests that the UNC will win the election.

Neither party has released any official data to support their claims.

Speaking to the Express yesterday, political analyst Dr Maukesh Basdeo said the data from Ghany’s poll does not suggest that vote-splitting is having a negative effect on the UNC and the coalition of interests in Trinidad.

He said in Tobago, however, the data shows the votes are being split, and in Tobago East, Duke is drawing a lot of support from Farley Augustine’s Tobago People’s Party (TPP).

“So the PNM is holding in Tobago, but when you look at Trinidad, the data shows that the UNC has a 45% favourability as against the PNM’s 30%,” he said.

He said it was clear that there is a high level of disenchantment on the ground among PNM voters.

Basdeo believes NTA leader Gary Griffith, who is contesting St Joseph, and Patriotic Front leader Mickela Panday, who is vying for Couva North, will garner the most votes in those two seats, drawing support away from both the PNM and UNC.

He added that in other constituencies where these third parties have candidates, they are likely to gain support from disenchanted voters.

Basdeo noted that Young’s mention of the PNM’s internal poll must be taken in context, but said this remains an “anecdotal” statement as no data has been presented.

He added that such findings should be made public.

According to Basdeo, the Ghany poll showed that the UNC’s current 19 seats continue to hold and that they are leading in two marginals—Aranjuez/St Joseph and Tunapuna.

He added, “When looking at the numbers, the PNM has a fight to retain their seats.”

Basdeo said a lot can happen in the coming week, noting that last week, former attorney general John Jeremie endorsed Kamla Persad-Bissessar and the UNC.

“There could be so many surprises that can take place in the next week,” he said.

‘Strong shift’

Economist Dr Indera Sagewan said yesterday that Ghany’s poll captures the sentiment on the ground—that in Trinidad, there is a “strong shift” towards the UNC.

“I see it as a very strong vote against the PNM. People are simply not buying into what is being sold on the PNM platform, largely because of the last ten years,” she said, adding that for everything offered on the PNM platform, the voter would question why it was not done in the last ten years.

Sagewan said although it is anticipated that Griffith will split votes in Aranjuez/St Joseph, she believes the UNC’s candidate, Devesh Maharaj, is making inroads in the constituency and could achieve victory.

Noting that Young has referenced an internal poll placing the PNM as the front-runner, she said:

“I think it sounds more like electioneering, and the PNM is really trying to use this to give their core supporters hope and to dismiss other polls as fake.”

Sagewan said Young should share the data from the poll, since he cited four constituencies where he claimed the PNM was leading the UNC.

And political analyst Dr Winford James told the Express yesterday that if, according to Young, the PNM is leading in four marginals, then “they should be jumping for joy”.

He said the PNM needs to keep their fingers crossed because the UNC can now adjust their strategy.

He opted not to comment further, noting the absence of supporting data.

He said Ghany’s poll, which asked respondents who they found to be more believable, was significant.

Ghany’s poll found that a majority of respondents in Trinidad (47%) chose Persad-Bissessar over Young, who polled 31%.

“That is one of the most important findings, and I suspect that those two figures will change again as we get closer to April 28,” he said.

James added that in the final week leading to D-day, people will still be on the lookout for what the parties have to say and offer.

Indera stop pretending that she independent? A strong shift to the UNC based on some dubious polling? This is one of the closest elections in recent times and will probably go down to the last ballot. I keep telling ppl they could still sway voters this final week.
