New Kenyan poll puts No in the lead

Barely a day after two opinion polls put the Yes camp on a comfortable lead in the run-up to the August 4 referendum, a new opinion poll by a hitherto unknown company calling itself East Africa Dataline has put the No team in the lead for the first time since the commencement of the referendum campaigns.

According to a survey released by the company Saturday, 53% of those polled reject the proposed constitution while 47% would say Yes in the referendum.

The survey that sampled 5400 respondents across the country comes barely a day after Strategic Research and TNS Research International polled 66% and 68% respectively for the Yes camp with the No trailing by 20% and 25%.

According to Konoin MP Julius Kones who is firmly in the No camp, the survey was based on the 2007 voting patterns across the 8 provinces.

The poll indicates that Rift Valley province has the highest number of those opposed to the proposed constitution with 79% followed by Eastern province with 66%.

Nyanza province leads with 73% of those supporting the proposed law followed by Western province at 64%.

However the poll seems to be markedly inconsistent with previous polls conducted by various research companies which have constantly shown the Yes team leading by a steady margin.

Re: New Kenyan poll puts No in the lead

opinion poll or no opinion poll,we will get a verdict after the referendum. I was just wondering what will be the next step, incase the constitution fails to pass. are we goin to embark on another constitution making process or we will just leave it for a while. What will happen to our judicial and law enforcement institutions which need argent reforms! Does anybody out there has an idea of what will follow if the unexpected happens?
