H.H.B and As­so­ciates:

PNM favoured to win

...leads in five mar­gin­als

by

20150906

The last poll con­duct­ed by H.H.B & As­so­ciates in the five crit­i­cal mar­gin­al seats shows the Op­po­si­tion Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) as the par­ty favoured to win to­mor­row's gen­er­al elec­tion.

Louis Bertrand and H.H.B & As­so­ciates polled 120 peo­ple from the mar­gin­al seats of To­co/San­gre Grande, St Joseph, Tu­na­puna, San Fer­nan­do West and Lopinot/Bon Air West. In each one, the PNM took the lead over the rul­ing Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress/Peo­ple's Part­ner­ship.

This lat­est poll found that the PNM was con­sid­ered "best" in look­ing af­ter the in­ter­ests of the peo­ple, hav­ing the best poli­cies, and pos­sess­ing the best team of lead­ers ca­pa­ble of deal­ing with the chal­lenges cur­rent­ly fac­ing the coun­try in all four con­stituen­cies.

PNM leader Dr Kei­th Row­ley has over­tak­en Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar as be­ing the "best prime min­is­ter" in the mar­gin­als polled.

The find­ings al­so show that a strong num­ber of vot­ers who se­lect­ed the UNC/PP in 2010 have now crossed over to the PNM.

In To­co/San­gre Grande, as many as 19 per cent of the peo­ple who vot­ed for the PP back in 2010 have now con­firmed that they will be vot­ing for the PNM in to­mor­row's elec­tion, as com­pared to four per cent of PNM vot­ers who have now crossed over to the UNC/PP.

In St Joseph, as in To­co/San­gre Grande, the elec­torate found that the PNM had the "best" team of lead­ers, best poli­cies, and the best po­si­tion to look af­ter the in­ter­ests of the peo­ple.

In St Joseph, it was found that 24 per cent of vot­ers who picked the UNC/PP in 2010 now pre­fer the PNM.

The PNM man­aged to re­tain some 82 per cent of its 2010 vot­ers, com­pared to the PP which re­tained 61 per cent of its vot­ers.

In Tu­na­puna, some 51 per cent found that Row­ley would make a bet­ter prime min­is­ter, com­pared to 35 per cent who back Per­sad-Bisses­sar to re­turn to the post.

In San Fer­nan­do West, 27 per cent of the vot­ers who backed the UNC/PP have now crossed over to the PNM, while 17 per cent are un­de­cid­ed. The re­ten­tion rate for the PP is now 56 per cent.

In Lopinot/Bon Air West, some eight per cent of the peo­ple polled sup­port­ed the ILP, while the ma­jor­i­ty backed the PNM. Thir­teen per cent of the UNC/PP vot­ers are now favour­ing the PNM to take the win, with the ILP hold­ing some 13 per cent of the vot­ers in the Lopinot/Bon Air West con­stituen­cy. In this area, the UNC/PP re­tained 58 per cent of its 2010 vot­ers while the PNM re­tained some 92 per cent of those who vot­ed for them in 2010. No one polled in­di­cat­ed that they moved from sup­port­ing the PNM to the UNC/PP.
