Only just noticed this in the comment section of the Guardian Story. Don't know where the data is coming from but its interesting.....
This poll is calling 21 seats for the PNM, with San Juan/Barataria, Pointe-a-Pierre and Mayaro too close to call.....Tobago is not included. If I add that to the Trinidad seats that's 23 for the PNM (yeah Tobago gone red )
That Pointe-a-Pierre result is very interesting. That seat is usually a very, very safe seat for the UNC.....but I eh know who did the poll so I'm a tad cautious........
I would not call it a safe UNC seat. Didn't the PNM won that seat in 2007?
Because the COP split the votes in 2007.....for the PNM to win, there would have to be big, big swing towards to PNM......
See this table.....sorry about the formatting.....
