In Trinidad, poll gives slight edge to ruling coalition


(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) A new poll suggests there will be a very tight contest between Trinidad and Tobago's ruling coalition and the main opposition party in next month's general elections, according to AP.

Poll results published Sunday in the Trinidad Express give a slight edge to Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar's faction. The survey was commissioned by the newspaper.

It suggests her coalition could win with a one-seat margin in Sept. 7 national elections. In May 2010, her People's Partnership won 29 of 41 seats.

Data analysis company SBS conducted the survey July 6 -22 with 1,412 adults in the country's 257 polling divisions. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.

There was no immediate reaction from the opposition People's National Movement led by Keith Rowley.
