Flawed survey

EDITOR, The Tribune.

THE FNM - Wilson Perkins Allen Opinion Poll taken between November 29th and December 5th.

The bombshell was announced in the House of Assembly on Wednesday, December 7th... two days after the poll was taken.

Results thereof have zero affect on the position in the country as of Wednesday, December 7th, 2016.

400 sample - too small that is only 10 calls per constituency.

Were the calls all to fixed line telephone numbers? 80% of telephone traffic today in the Bahamas is over cellular.... another strike against the validity of the poll.

The poll admits the poll was completed by ‘live-telephone’ (not cellular phone) utilising random dialing.

Surely with random dialing, there is zero guarantee you will speak to each of the 38 Constituencies ... this is totally flawed, Editor.

Mr Minnis just wasted another bunch of his money!
