PNP now ahead of JLP, poll finds

Play unu own fiddle and dance yes. – @sexywallyb

Would love to see the actual poll and full results, but already that question is biased. That doesn’t say much for this poll or the party. Comes across as a disingenuous marketing ploy. – @SoWhatYoureRea1

Election time now then? Time to buy up bulk white rice by the 50 pound bag and all ram goats better sleep wid one eye open! Bars need to stock up, T-shirt print shops need to hire more staff now! February is only eight months away but nice time starts now! – @Zemi66

@AndrewHolness JM I don’t think the cabinet reshuffle went far enough. There needs to be a lot of changes to include removing the people who are arrogant as people don’t like the approach. Perhaps if the PM called a snap by election in a sure seat then he could turn the tide. – @happy_jamaican

This funny bad. One thing I am sure of is Jamaicans is no ediot. – @audreym11521150

How can you be leading a poll when you haven’t settle candidates for most of the seats plus infighting within your own party? Who to believe your so-called commissioned poll? – @djtrueblue1

Polls in Jamaica are of no significance to anyone, or any party if they only target certain areas, or poll persons that cannot vote, have never voted, will never vote. Only a minority votes in each election. To add context, I want to know where you polled and how many were polled. – @StClairClaron

People will no longer be fooled. They are choosing principle and ideology over personality and gimmicks. Take back your power Jamaicans, we deserve better! Service for the people. #timecome – @naomiyells

I think the saddest part of this is how low both those numbers are. Most of us don’t want any of you. – @JamaicanLabrat

Streets never yet lie. Nobody who listening to the streets would disbelieve these numbers. People done with Anju. – @876stoic

I wonder if the Comrades themselves believe this? Why would you poll at mid-term when gov’t has just overhauled public sector workers’ compensation and salary increases for parliamentarians? This is like testing for pollution after a caustic spill! – @williamdw40

Polls are a snapshot of sentiments at a particular time. PNP will be pleased, still early days, JLP will have to do some work if they desire to remain in government. – @drhbnation
