Pollster got it badly wrong
Dear Editor,
I am penning these short notes to inform readers that so-called pollster, Vishnu Bisram got it badly wrong in Trinidad on the UNC elections.
Before we go to that, we need to remind readers of Mr. Bisram’s partner’s explanation as to how he does his polls. Annan Boodram, who lives in New York where Bisram resides, explained to readers three times how Bisram can be a teacher yet do his polls.
According to Boodram, he leaves over the weekend and returns to teach on Monday morning. The least said of that the better and unapologetically, I say anyone who believes this explanation of Boodram is foolish
Now to Bisram’s poll. He wrote that his poll showed the contestants in the following way – Panday leading the flock with 38 percent, Lawrence Maharaj with 27 percent and Kamla Persad-Bissesar with 23 percent. No need to mention who won but to state that the first two were devastated by the last name. How can a pollster get it so wrong? Well he did it in Grenada where he put the incumbent party as having a landslide. In fact, it was the opposition that got the landslide. I worked in Grenada so I have friends there. They told me that there was no one by the name of Vishnu Bisram who was in Grenada conducting a survey
What is the answer? Messrs. Bisram and Boodram have been carrying on with their so-called polls for so long that Bisram never felt he would have been exposed. Our elections are coming up and the business community should fund a survey through the University of Guyana
