Neck-and-Neck Battle in Jamaican Election Polls as Many Remain Undecided

In the run-up to the eagerly anticipated general election, the latest Don Anderson poll findings reveal a statistical dead heat between the two major political parties, the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the People’s National Party (PNP).

The poll indicates a narrow separation, with voter apathy emerging as a dominant factor, as 35 per cent of respondents express their intention either not to vote or to abstain from supporting either of the primary political contenders.

25 per cent of those surveyed express their inclination to vote in favor of the PNP.

Slightly behind, the governing JLP secures the support of 22 per cent of respondents in their bid for the upcoming general election.

Meanwhile, 18 per cent of participants remain uncertain about which party will ultimately receive their vote.

A shift in voting preferences is evident when comparing the upcoming general election to the local government election.

The latest findings indicate that Jamaicans, with a one per cent lead, expressed a preference for the JLP in the local government election.

However, when it comes to the general election, a three per cent lead is observed in favor of the PNP.

Looking specifically at the local government election, 37 per cent of respondents indicate their decision not to vote for either party or to abstain from voting altogether.

This aligns with the 35 per cent of voters expressing similar sentiments for the general election.

Additionally, 18 per cent of respondents express uncertainty about which party will secure their vote in both elections.

The fieldwork for the poll was conducted between November 24 and December 7, providing a snapshot of public sentiment during this period.

The poll comes with a margin of error of plus or minus three per cent.
