Dramatic drop by Dems

THERE HAS BEEN a dramatic downturn in the favourability of the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) among Barbadians since the last election, two years and a month ago.

As a result, voters have given it a failing grade and Prime Minister Freundel Stuart has cascaded downhill as an approved leader, yielding to Opposition Leader Mia Mottley, who is now ahead of him by more than three to one.

The other major casualty is Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler whose status as a preferred leader has been halved from 11 per cent in 2013 to six per cent.

These are among some very interesting results contained in a public opinion poll conducted among 1 064 voters in all constituencies last weekend by CADRES (Caribbean Development Research Services), as Government approaches the middle of its five-year term.

Please read the full story in today’s Sunday Sun, or in the eNATION edition.
