Michael Dunkley continues to lead his political colleagues in the favourability ratings, the latest poll shows.Forty-seven percent of registered voters have a favourable impression of the Deputy Leader of the One Bermuda Alliance, a seven point increase since May.That also puts him ahead of OBA Leader Craig Cannonier who clocked in at 35 percent, and Premier Paula Cox at 31 percent.While the percentage of voters who have a favourable impression of Premier Paula Cox has remained relatively unchanged over the last six months, the proportion of voters who view her unfavourably has increased — from 35 percent in May, to 41 percent.Voters also gave a resounding thumbs down to her deputy Derrick Burgess with just 18 percent of respondents saying they had a favourable impression of him and 48 percent viewing him unfavourably.In the survey conducted by MindMaps between September 11 and 16, respondents were read a list of names and asked to give their impressions on a scale of one to five with one being “very unfavourable” and five being “very favourable”.Scores of four and five are combined as favourable, while one and two rankings are combined to read “unfavourable”.Black voters were more likely to have a favourable impression of the Premier, with 46 percent saying they viewed her favourably against 24 percent who did not.Only 26 percent of registered voters reported that they had a favourable impression of Mr Burgess, while 35 percent said their impression was unfavourable.Ms Cox and her deputy are running neck and neck when it comes to the proportion of whites (69 and 71 percent respectively) who view them unfavourably.Interim United Bermuda Party leader Kim Swan is not doing too well in the favourability rankings either.Fifty-one percent of voters overall have an unfavourable impression of him, compared to 39 percent in May, while just 15 percent view him favourably, down from 21 percent.Forty-eight percent of blacks and 56 percent of white voters view him unfavourably.“Popularity polls make interesting reading for armchair critics but Bermuda is a Parliamentary Democracy with 36 constituencies with varying demographic breakdowns which impact each constituency uniquely,” said Mr Swan when asked for his reaction to the new data.“ At this late stage the poll that matters most is the imminent general election.“Charlie Swan and I will remain focused on the important issues that impact our communities and Bermuda as a whole.”MindMaps interviewed a sample of 400 Bermuda residents aged 18 years and over between September 11 and 16.Qualified respondents were registered voters who said they were likely to vote and the margin of error was +/- 4.9 percent.The data was weighted to be representative of Bermuda’s population by age, race and gender.
