Senator Damani Tabor is by no means surprised at the findings of polls conducted by Linley Winter in seven constituencies, five of which apparently show a swing towards the United Progressive Party (UPP).
Tabor, the UPP’s newly elected Public Relations Officer, says that over the past year, especially, there has been a significant shift towards the UPP, a conclusion supported by Winter’s polls.
He says the shift towards the main opposition party is not only among ordinary citizens who are struggling, but among many business owners who continue to cry for assistance to shore up their ailing companies.
Senator Tabor, however, is cautioning supporters not to become complacent on account of the numbers, since the ALP will do whatever is required to hold onto power at all costs.
MORE FROM REAL NEWS:
Local pollster Linley Winter says that polls he conducted earlier this year showed a swing of 10 to 15 percent away from the incumbent Antigua Labour Party (ALP) and towards the United Progressive Party (UPP). The results can still be considered as valid, he says, given that circumstances have not changed much.
In fact, Winter adds, many residents would say that things have gotten worse – after a second hike in fuel prices within months.
Winter conducted a poll in seven of the 17 constituencies, and the outcome in five of them – St. John’s City East; St. George; St. Mary’s North; St. Mary’s South; and All Saints West – looks favourable for the UPP.
His findings contradict the alleged polls of the ALP, which claim it will win all 17 constituencies, and even those conducted by regional pollster Peter Wickham, who says the Labour Party will retain power.
Winter says the majority of his polling was done in March.
In the studies conducted, Winter says two things were observed, one being that the ALP has lost substantial ground when compared to the immense support it received in the 2018 general elections.
Elaborating further, Winter says it is still a toss-up whether these results will hold into the next election cycle, and that depends on several factors.
According to the pollster, at present, there is a tie in one of the seven constituencies polled, while in the other the ALP is approximately five points ahead of the UPP Candidate.
Meanwhile, in the areas polled, Winter says there is no indication, to date, that the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) will be a deciding factor, thus making the race a two-way fight between the main opposition UPP and the incumbent ALP.

I totally agree with you Senator Damani Tabor.
UPP supporters must not get complacent, even though there is now an upward trajectory towards a UPP victory that even the most ardent ABLP NEOPHYTE could not have foreseen.
WE MUST GO OUT AND VOTE 🗳
As an Antiguan businessman who first backed Gaston Browne and the ABLP when they came into office, I like many others are switching allegiance in droves.
The Prime Minister was big on his previous election promises (and in my case, investing in the country before he pulled the rug from under me, and halting much needed employment for many locals, and potentionally taking food off the table of my family); and he’s let the majority of us down whilst in office, however, not for his cabinet, family, friends and associates. Awful leadership!
REMEMBER VOTING IS THE KEY … 🗳
Come on Brixtonian you & I know better than that. Antiguans may be passive but they are smart & wise. UPP will certainly not be the choice with that slate of candidates and Lovell as the head. No way can Antigua face another nose dive in our economy

There are a lot of ME’s in this statement. So did you vote for him/them based on what YOU expected to get out of him/them?
Hmmm that’s the problem with voters. All about what you can get…me, me, me and I, I, I! You forget that a government is supposed to be beneficial to all. You then switch sides based on what the other party can give YOU.
Very disappointed…..
You’ve totally misunderstood the whole situation @ Disappointed.
I was part of an invited group of almost 200 Antiguans (UK Diaspora) in October 2014 to invest in Antigua 🇦🇬
It was never about me, or I, as YOU put it!
Many of us took the Prime Minister on his word regarding investing – we were proud to do so.
I AM JUST SPEAKING UP ON BEHALF OF THE MANY. OUR EXPERIENCE SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING – SHOULD IT NOT!!!
Anyway sir or madam, you are entitled to your point of view …
Tabor is a smart man… He knows that the polling was bogus…. Time will tell….. UPP is going to get a rude awakening
@Bluddy Bloke
No rude awakening. UPP ALREADY KNOW THAT UPP WILL LOSE.
