“The DLP would probably not hold on to the ruling majority in the government of Dominica if elections were held today.” – Alex Bruno, CAPA.
Electoral politics is the vehicle of authority, and public opinion is the fuel for that vehicle. Election is a numbers game and the candidates who receive the most votes win; hence the need for constant monitoring of the numbers in the lead-up to general elections. Those numbers come from the people by way of their opinions, and in order to gauge partisan pre-elections strengths, voting trends are measured.
There are standard ways by which such information is gathered and this date back to 1824. It was George H. Gallup, a syndicated news paper research analyst, who is to be credited for the scientific method of polling which is used in public opinion gathering in the modern era. Gallup correctly predicted President Roosevelt’s election victory in the 1930s using a small representative sample-size approach to field survey; his method remains the benchmark of scientific market surveys.
Caribbean Agency for Political Advancement (CAPA) has the human resources with both the professional training and practical experience to conduct such public scientific surveys. The following analysis comes from our most recent field survey which sought to determine the electability of declared or presumptive political party candidates ahead of the 2019/2020 Dominica general elections. The substantive inquiry question, however, is whether the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) will continue to serve as the majority party in the government of Dominica if elections were held today? The survey was a random convenient quantitative exercise conducted from May 26 – June 16, 2019.
The rationale for releasing this particular set of results is tied to public demands for analysis of our findings. The figures for Vieille Case Constituency were selected for release because it is the constituency of the head of the government of Dominica and Parliamentary Representative, the Honorable Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit. The poll questionnaire was presented in the following order:
Date: / / . Constituency ……………………………., Area…………………Time……
Gender: ……… Age: 18 – 25 26 – 50 51 – 65 65 and over
Education: Elementary Secondary College University – Employed: Yes No
- Which political party candidate/representative is more in touch (on the ground) with the voters/people in your constituency?
- Which political party candidate/representative will you vote for at the next general elections?
- Which political party/candidate did you vote for at the last election?
- Will the present economic uncertainty in Dominica influence your vote? Yes No
- Are you registered to vote? Yes No
- How likely are you to vote for candidates and/or political parties who offer money and valuable items like appliances? That is not likely Very likely Somewhat likely No likelihood
- Will you vote at the next Dominica general elections? Yes No Not sure
- How many people left your household/family for overseas following Hurricane Maria?
1 – 3 3 – 5 more than 5 No one left
- How many of the family members who left have or planned to return, especially for elections? 1 – 3 3 – 5 none
- How many Haitian nationals reside in your area? 1 – 10 10 – 25 between 25 – 50 over 50
- How many Haitian nationals do you believe or know will or can vote at the next Dominica general elections in your area? 1 – 10 10 – 25 between 25 – 50 over 50
- Do you think that the present DLP government has performed well enough to convince you to vote them into office for a fifth consecutive 5-year term? Yes No
Results
The Vieille Case Constituency comprises districts: U01 – LAHAUT, U02 – PENVILLE, U03 – LOWER PENVILLE, U04 – AMBAS, U05 – VIEILLE CASE and U06 – THIBAUD. The registered voters per district as of May 25 stand as follows: U01 – 92, U02 – 356, U03 – 370, U04 – 316, U05 – 583, U05 – 582 and U06 – 479 for a total of 2194 electors. Two political party candidates have been declared to contest the Vieille Case constituency; they are Clement Marcellin of the United Workers Party (UWP) and Roosevelt Skerrit of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP). Responses were therefore received in the name of those candidates and parties.
The standard sample size for scientific surveys, as designed by Gallup, is 1% of the electors, but we chose to poll 1.5% (33) of the electors in proportion to the electors per district(s).
In response to the first question: which political party candidate/representative is more in touch (on the ground) with the voters/people in your constituency? 42% of the people think that Skerrit spends more time on the ground than his challenger (Marcellin) who, according to the opinions of 33% of respondents, is a bit less visible on the ground. 3% of respondents indicated that both Skerrit and Marcellin share equal time on the ground and 5% claimed that they have not seen any of the two major party candidates. The remaining 17% of respondents did not provide a response to this question.
Responses to question 2, which political party candidate/representative will you vote for at the next general elections, were as follows: Skerrit – 43.7%, Marcellin – 31.8%, remaining 24.5% of respondents – undecided. On question 3 (Which political party/candidate did you vote for at the last election?), based on the responses 66% of the votes were casted for Skerrit of the DLP, 22% for the UWP, 9% withheld information on how they voted and 3% of respondents did not vote in the last general election.
Responding to question 4, will the present economic uncertainty in Dominica influence your vote, 36.4% declare that the Dominica’s economy does have a bearing on their vote, and 45.5% said no. 12.1% of respondents were undecided on that question while 6% remained neutral (50/50). 1% of respondents were unregistered and 12.1% did not disclose their registration status. On question 6, how likely are you to vote for candidates and/or political parties who offer money and valuable items like appliances, 94% of respondents say that there is not likelihood of this being the case while 6% declared that it is somewhat likely – if the price is right.
On the question as to whether respondents would indeed vote at the upcoming general elections, it was determined that 75.8 % are planning to vote. 15% said they will not vote and 9.2% were unsure about voting. Responses to questions 8, 9, 10 and 11 from this and any other published analysis are being withheld because of a strategic decision. On the final and main survey question, ‘do you think that the present DLP government has performed well enough to convince you to vote them into office for a fifth consecutive 5-year term,’ the overwhelming majority of respondents, which includes a percentage of those who declared that they will vote for the DLP at the upcoming elections, responded no.
These results were compiled from raw data and are being presented to the public for analysis. As stated previously, this decision was taken following keen public interest in CAPA’s research methodology and other survey related concerns of, and interest in our latest work. Fourteen constituencies – Castle Bruce, Cottage, La Plaine, Mahaut, Morne Jaune, Petite Savanne, Portsmouth, Roseau Central, Roseau Valley, Salybia, St. Joseph, Vieille Case, Wesley and Soufriere – were polled with the statistical margin of error being 3.91% +/-. It is unlikely that further results will be published because such is hardly ever done. This executive decision to release the figure for Vieille Case was taken in the interest of transparency and professional responsibility.
General comments
In an earlier statement to the media, we declared that the DLP would probably not hold on to the ruling majority in the government of Dominica if elections were held today. We still stand by this statement. Upon analysis of the responses, when the undecided numbers are taken into account, there does not appear to be sufficient committed votes in favor of DLP to ensure a win. The DLP did not accrue 50% favorability and over in any of the 14 constituencies which were surveyed.
The unemployment rate was astronomical (over 57% with youth unemployment even higher), and post-Maria migration is close to 1.7%. Money or big campaign spending did not poll as being a factor which would impact voting, and there seems to be this compelling attitude among respondents which speaks to government change and electoral reform. The third party factor is observed in only two constituencies, with the impact reaching double digits (12%) in favor of the Dominica Freedom Party (DFP) in one particular constituency.
What is most noteworthy, however, is the percentage of undecided voters which averaged 26.6% across the 14 constituencies surveyed. The undecided percentage was above 30% in at least four (4) constituencies and 20% and above in five (5) areas. There is strong indications that the undecided voters could tilt the balance of power in the upcoming Dominica general elections, because the trends are strongly in favour of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP). This position was arrived at because the average of undecided voters who stated that the DLP does not deserve another five (5) year term in office, across the 14 constituencies polled, is higher than 80%.
This research was commissioned and sponsored by parties with interest in electoral politics on the island of Dominica.
Resolution
There is an air of anxiety and expectancy among the people, which if not properly managed, may lead to unintended results. Politicians and parties with interest in electoral politics on the island of Dominica should not take the mood of the Dominican electorates for change and reform for granted.
Sincerely
………………………….

I can see, from the Red-driven arguments and comments posted above, the need for voter and general education in this country.
This article seems to represent what’s happening on the ground. It is quite evident that the current government doesn’t represent the will of the people and it’s starting to show.
Interesting and useful research activity by Pawol. I need to see the reports for the other constituencies before I comment further.
Notwithstanding, good work Pawol. I wish the Bajan would be as detailed in his reporting when he presents his findings.
Clemo is much much more than how he looks, I assure you. When Mr. Skerrit started he was what
Clemo is already a respected community leader, mature, an experienced and well educated man. He has already held many roles in which his performance has always been stellar. This space is not sufficient to boast about him. All I will say is that Clemo is very capable of representing his constituency. Our country would do well to have a few more like him in leadership. DNO has an article that talks about his accomplishments thus far at this young age. Read it for yourself, the title is “COMMENTARY: Will the tides turn for the Vieille Case Constituency this time around?”
Anyway, Alex poll burning all you eh. Don’t forget to take that pressure tablet with meals
As for Joe Linton, I suspect you wanted to do the poll and they told you no. Workers, we have hardly started campaigning, yet we are already winning. Imagine that eh. Workeeeerrrrrsss.
We have work to do! We are winning, yes, but do not get complacent.
We will be victorious
They should have definitely employed me i would not have given you false hope because from my own ground work i can tell you UWP is expected to loose a few seats, not gain!!!!!
Giving a political party false hope via a poorly conducted poll can cause more harm than good not only to the party but to people health!!!
After twenty years now skerrit want to build a proper health center in vieille case. Now he want to build community center. Now he want to fix thibau to gomier hill. But he have lots of problems in his camp. Tell him the water project he do from ambas to penville that have pipes bursting everyday fix it. And the scheme he used to bankrupt public works on the vieille case to penville road it will hunt him. The actual cost of the road was 10 million and he gave public works five so the water project cost more than public works doing the entire road. And then giving his brother to do five walls a road and drains in penville when there are so many contractors in penville to share the bread. We in penville know that skerrit only cares about his riches. Now he want to use state funds to buy us to vote for him. So Mr pm is so then every five years you buying us with ten grand and during that we have to beg. U an educated fool to try run Dominica like is Venezuela.
The man’s name is George Gallup with a ‘u’ not Gallop as in what horses do.
Before the general elections of 2014, Mr. Bruno’s poll predicted the DLP would win and it did. I wish all the critics of Mr. Bruno would either publish their own poll or ask the DLP to publish its own poll.
“Before the general elections of 2014, Mr. Bruno’s poll predicted the DLP would win and it did.”
i cannot recall hearing or seeing that poll in 2014, was it publish on DNO, if so can you provide us with such a link so i can do my analysis??
We do not have to publish any poll we know the DLP will win hands down.
Some of us can dispute the accuracy of those bias poll of the uwp agents because we are analyzing the political situation with our own silent polls.
We the young people are with Clemo, Skerrit can never win this constituency again. skerrit has the edge in Vieille case but Clemo will win Thibout, and the people of Penville moving towards Clemo because thats where he’s from. We giving the young man a chance.
Those who oppose the results of the polls, do you think it should be the other way around? you may be right.
I won’t listen to nothing Alex says because i heard him on Wednesday he lied to his teeth.
Good so I am assuming you will stop campaigning for DLP because Skerro has it in the bag. Thanks in advance…..kuuyon!
Lessons to be learnt.
I have posted many comments to news articles that have been published by DNO.
I have also reviewed the amount of dislikes to my comments and I know for a fact and many of my readers of my comments know for sure that my valid points are base on reasoning. Comments are given negative remarks only by the fact that persons want to be heard and feel they are part of the ruling government. The reason why they are unable to give thumbs down to my questions is because I analyse statements written and spoken from the government. I will not write what the citizen of Dominica says or will i try to dictate to them what they must say or not say. I am obligated to ask the government, the representatives , the Ministers the questions. I am not receiving the answers that need to be answered. Why are the people who are not the ones citizens vote for believes they are to answer all questions that are directed to the government officials. WHY?
My final thought on this crap is directed to you Mr. Alex ‘Pawol” Bruno… BOSS MAN STAY AWAY FROM CONDUCTING POLLS,!!!! This is a free advise for your own reputation , you have no clue what it is to be a political scientist, you have misunderstood the entire concept never mind the actual science … At your age now i think you should be planning your retirement package so you can gift your many children and grands….
Try doing some more comedy plays, that should give you a comfortable retirement .
“How likely are you to vote for candidates and/or political parties who offer money and valuable items like appliances? That is not likely Very likely Somewhat likely No likelihood”
ALEX BOSS WHAT FOOLISH QUESTION IS THAT???????? That’s how they taught you to do up a questionnaire?? this is the most RIDICULOUS question i have ever seen in a political survey….
The result is even more laughable or maybe down right STUPID :”94% of respondents say that there is not likelihood of this being the case while 6% declared that it is somewhat likely – if the price is right.”
BOY THE QUESTION DIDN’T ASK IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT where you come out with that answer??? and btw what is that likelihood all about???
Please publish your credentials in terms of talking polls or please publish the last poll you took. If you can produce any of those demands, please shut up.
“‘do you think that the present DLP government has performed well enough to convince you to vote them into office for a fifth consecutive 5-year term,’ the overwhelming majority of respondents, which includes a percentage of those who declared that they will vote for the DLP at the upcoming elections, responded no.”
AGAIN MISCHIEVOUS ALEX how does 33 persons in a whole constituency with 2,194 registered electors determine an “OVERWHELMING majority”???? AWAH BOSS AWAH honestly if a political party from one of the Caribbean islands call me as a reference to your work trust me you will get an amazing, glorious FAILED from me… stop trying to be what you are not boss, you cannot even design a proper questionnaire never mind to interpret it and worse your serious lack of understanding of the Gallop technique is making a mockery of the man work !!!!!!!!!! And you teaching a Florida College? say no please… SMDFH!!!!
“How many Haitian nationals reside in your area? 1 – 10 10 – 25 between 25 – 50 over 50
How many Haitian nationals do you believe or know will or can vote at the next Dominica general elections in your area? ”
SERIOUSLY ALEX??????? You actually ask the meager 6 persons interviewed about Haitian nationals????? what is the purpose of this question? where are you going with that??? Why not ask about St. Lucians, they can register to vote since they’ve been residing here for more than 6 months… YOU ARE A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!! CAPA has done no other polls in no other Caribbean island and you have just destroyed their image what a shame!!!!
First of all this is wrong “U01 – 92, U02 – 356, U03 – 370, U04 – 316, U05 – 583, U05 – 582 and U06 – 479 for a total of 2194 electors. ”
Second of all this makes absolutely NO SENSE”The standard sample size for scientific surveys, as designed by Gallop, is 1% of the electors, but we chose to poll 1.5% (33) of the electors in proportion to the electors per district(s).” that equates to 5.50 (6) persons per district… so Vieille Case has 1,165 voters and out of this you only interview 6 persons and you telling me that Gallop Scientific method is 100% accurate that these 6 persons sampled represents the opinion of ALL 1,165 voters in Vieille Case proper my brother??? Awah wii some of you really believe by putting letters after your names makes everybody else idiots??? THINK AGAIN BOSS!!!
FINALLY what’s CAPA experience in conducting polls in the Caribbean???? You in business since 2015….. there were many general elections since!!!!
Why was Alex the one doing the poll? He is obviously bias towards the UWP. He is too closely associated with the UWP to be objective.
Is Alex the sole member of the CAPA ? Who are the other members of the CAPA and what are their qualifications. Which islands of the Caribbean make up the CAPA ?
I am no political scientist but this piece look like the research of a political campaign manager searching for salient points to develop a campaign strategy for his party. Or a business doing a survey for a location or for developing a sales programme. Or a census officer doing a census.
Why all the Haitian questions ?
Alex is being blind sighted by his loyalty to the uwp. Which poses the questions, “Does he practice a conflict of interest ? Does he have any ethical values ?
This poll has zero credibility and is therefore null and void.
@Joseph John – So the poll “has zero credibility and is therefore null and void” – not because you can highlight something erroneous with (…..ummmm, let’s say) the methodology or sampling of the poll – but because you claim Alex is biased towards the UWP.
How astute and brilliant of you.
Tell me nuh, who is your teacher? Roosevelt?
What kind of argumentative fallacy do you specialize in? The Non-sequitur type?
So when Alex finishes his phd he will be a real doctor?I’m asking for melo mills ,gee Joseph, photographer ambo,joseph john , kid on the block, Manny and simeon
Flat empty blue Tire……., Joseph John is a name, my name and I am a real person. You are the remnants of a burnt heap of the uwp gang banger trash pile. The illusion of a ghost writer.
A Phd recipient is not a real doctor. An MD is a real doctor, a medical doctor.
A Phd graduate is a doctor of philosophy a postgraduate degree after a graduating with a masters.
You can also obtain an Honorary degree without being a graduate or postgraduate. It is a citation of recognition and achievement issued by recognized universities all over the world.
Before trying to downgrade a honorary Phd do a search on the net or you will remain in fools paradise like the 5 graders who lead the unreasonable Tim Tim party.
JJ, what’s your beef with this long, meandering diatribe. An honorable (ornamental) PhD doesn’t mean a thing these days. Many rich men were given honorable doctorates because they donated big cash to prestigious learning institutions. There’s no need for your obnoxious , angry, juvenile assault.
Alex you making yourself look like a typical coon. My brother everybody and their mammy have a university degree now, you trying act all important. You did a poll and you saying its not normal for results to be released to the public?
You coming here are give vague comments like DLP will not form govt yet no party has a 50% majority in any seat. Who are you to assume undecided will vote UWP, has it occurred to you that they may not vote? Its blatantly obvious that 10-15,000 voters on island regularly don’t vote. Did you factor that in? Come better than that if you want to compete with Wickham, because he is obviously right that Lennox is a very unpopular man if he can’t, in these difficult times, have over 50% support in 14 out of the 21 seats.
I don’t expect a full outline for questions 1-14, but for each seat, the basic summary of party support % in a seat (like outlined in the figure in the article) would be expected.
Stop milking a little poll for clout!!!
Just to further back my point, with your own data: an average of 26.6% undecided, and and average of 24.2% likely to not vote (15% said they will not vote and 9.2% were unsure about voting). You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that if someone isn’t decided yet in Dca, then they just won’t vote. With all the maylay with Austrie, Blackmoore, Marva and the rest, Dcans wont just turn overnight with the same UWP.
Lennox is an unpopular leader plan and simple. But I bet if they change him with Dr. Sanford UWP will lead the polls undisputed overnight. Is UWP a gen Marigot party or a Dominican party? The 1st Carib leader will sweep to polls no doubt!
But Lennox more ou’shaa for power than Skerrit, the people doe want him but he have no shame he wont leave.
I think you need to have a recent chat with Wickham. I see you need an update. here is an hint. Alex’s poll is identical to wickham’s recent secret so calm yourself
What a long load of rubbish by alex. Keep on singing for your dinner. Just a friendly reminder uwpee cannot win a election in dominica anytime soon under the leadership of mad max. L.l, thats a former uwpite talking here.
Sing 🎤 🎵 sing eventually you will be heard. The game of throwing sprat to catch whale is quite vivid. The man name is Poorwall, and that’s what the wannabe Ambassador is just Pourwall. Your survey is flawed, because your survey questions are based on UWP supporters feeling and not random persons. We Dominicans know better than to elect a person who is a high school dropout and hasn’t done everything substantial towards bettering our Nation! Instead, he has belittled the elderly by calling them the greedy. Through the NEP program he has belittled our youths. Ask the aspiring opposition candidate what has he done and how many organizations he is affiliated with? Being a radio personality doesn’t qualify you to be a journalist.
Wouldn’t uwp supporters only support clemo. Surely it’d be 100% Clemo if the nonsense you wrote were true.
Who is Clement Marcellin? I know a Robelto Marcellin who worked for Geest Industries long ago. What are Clement’s credentials? What is his tract record ? How has he contributed to this constituency.
Why the political challenge picture in this header ?
If and when Skeritt leaves office, DLP will lose the Vieille Case sit too. This young man is the future of politics in that constituency and maybe Dominica. Let’s see if he gets persuaded to cross over.
He could end up being the Prime Minister in the future. Mark My Words
This is pure speculation. This man as presented cannot ever win an election. You need more than a smile to convince people to vote for you. I keep asking who is he and what is he so I can check facts before election day is declared, but to no avail. What is going on ?
Mr. Skerrit is now telling people he is “solid as a rock”
Everybody knows Clemo is solid as a rock. Get your own “thing” Mr. Skerrit! smh. Talk about lack of originality. What? You don’t like Mr. “I run things…” any more?
Was Clement even born in Dominica. Is he a five years resident? Does he have a French passport ?
Poor write-up! Why not present the results in table format so that it is all easier to digest! Also, stop tantalising folk with poll results you will not publish…..without the empirical data you can analyse whichever way you want to convince your reader. Think folk can make up their own minds if given the evidence. Whiff of self-importance here methinks!!
Go tell Wickham what to present for a whole year now he polling. If you studied basic statistics you would not be talking that rubbish
Mr UK Contingent I agree in toto. The poll should be conducted constituency by constituency and the result should have been published in table form. The operative question should have been ” who do you think will win the next election”?…..Haitian questions…bah….
@The U.K. Contingent, I agree with pertaining the write-up of this poll result. It is like a fairy tale that begins with “once upon a time” and ends with “they all lived happily forever after”
All of those figures or the multiple choice questions should be outstandingly listed–not with a line of words or figures with commas to follow them.
That presentation is definitely, poorly written. Maybe that is why it doesn’t get published.
Elizabeth, it is a fairy tail, a tim tim. The only difference is that with uwp agents no one can live happily. Those cons and gang bangers are haters to the extreme . They have been contaminated from birth and are contagious. They will never change. They are just looking for an opportunity to put their vindictiveness in action. They have the attributes off victimizers looking for victims.
Forward Mr. Marcellin and save our constituency. Let Dominicans see that we will solve this carpet bagger attitude of Mr. Skeritt .We will not elected in our constituency.
Show me your friends and I will tell you what you are. Mr Clemment Marcellin can be all what you think and more but he is following the wrong people, he is in the wrong company . It is a truism that if you follow bad companion they will lead you astray and even put you in the path to destruction.
How can you let a person with a fifth grade education lead you downwards like a donkey’s tail.
Keep the pressure on Clemo. Might be in for a David and Goliath conclusion after all.
Holly Molly, Clemo you need more fire!
Clemo you are a gorgeous man…
, however you will need more than that to beat Skerro. You need a team to campaign on your behalf day and night. The young people are already on your side, train them, equip them and put them to work. They must use every possible means of communication to convince the undecided voters that you are the better option.
@Clemo will win; except that the young people might have to grow a little bit older, to put their mind into a better form, which is able to decide more effectively. It is possible that Clemo might not be their concrete choice by that time.
As a young man right now, what are the factors that present him as a parliamentary representative except his good looks?
He will need much, much, more than that to defeat PM Skerrit, who had that same good looks at his first appointment, and today he has much, much, much, more than good looks, causing him to remain in his standings. Also, PM Skerrit is still a young man. Now think about that!
Miss Xavier you need a break from this DLP cool-aid you have been drinking, eating and bathing in. Also, I highly recommend a new set of glasses because those you have on right now have become obscured with red paint. A so called god fearing woman like you should NEVER allow yourself to utter such disgusting language in support of a person you know has out-lived his welcome and continues to fail our country.
You are no longer the objective, country-first person you once were on the cakafete blog years ago and having met you it is surprising to read some of the things you post knowing full well the DLP has failed Dominica. Back then we both supported the dimpled one. Nonetheless, God’s blessings on you always.
Elizabeth, the thing is that the uwp is not a real political party. They are what you call characters in a “fairy tale” a tim tim. How can anyone in their right mind think that the suitability of a candidate depends on looks and youth.
Skerro has the attributes of a true leader and has proved to be a capable (THE BEST) representative for his constituency and the beat PM of all.
Clemo all the way. Clement will defeat scareit at the polls. That’s the biggest suprise in Dominica politics. And electoral reform is a must because they have already started registering Haitians
