38% GUYANESE BELIEVE OPPOSITION SABOTAGING GOVERNMENT, 44% WOULD VOTE PPP/C AT SNAP ELECTIONS NOW, APNU 35%!!

A recent opinion survey has revealed that 38 per cent of people in Guyana believe the combined opposition is sabotaging government’s development initiatives, while another 40 per cent do not support its tactic of withholding funds to the president’s office.
The survey was conducted in July by New York-based pollster, Vishnu Bisram, for the North American Caribbean Teachers Association (NACTA). These and other findings were obtained in the poll that queried voters’ views on a number of issues impacting Guyana.
Thirty-nine per cent of those polled said they are satisfied with the performance of the government, while 43 per cent said they approved of the performance of President Donald Ramotar. Respondents are divided on whether or not a snap election should be called soon to resolve the parliamentary crisis of a minority government.
However, when asked how they would vote if an election were called, 44 per cent said they would vote for the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C); 35 per cent, the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU); five per cent, the Alliance For Change (AFC), two per cent the Justice For All Party (JFAP); and less than one per cent, other parties. Thirteen per cent are undecided.
Disenchanted government supporters who voted for the AFC last November said they are disappointed with the party’s behaviour and its close alliance with the APNU, expressing the view that they may very well return to the fold of the ruling party.

 

Methodology
The poll randomly interviewed 930 voters in July to yield a demographically representative sample – 44 per cent Indians; 31 per cent Africans; 15 per cent mixed; nine per cent Amerindians, and one per cent other ethnicity – of the population.
The survey was conducted throughout the nation by several experienced interviewers in face-to-face contact over a two-week period.
People were asked several questions and the results of the findings were analysed at a 95 per cent significance level. A statistical sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points was found, meaning the findings could vary in either direction by this margin. Results based on sub-groups, such as Indians or Africans, have a larger sampling error of about four per cent. Bisram, a pollster, newspaper columnist, and educator based in New York, has been conducting annual opinion surveys in Guyana since 1990.

So the PPP support has DECLINED since last year (44% down from 49%) and most Guyanese (62%) do not think the opposition is being negative.

YOUR survey says 44%.  That is the only evidence.  YOUR survey 62% see nothing wrong with what the opposition is doing.
