Veteran pollster Dr Vishnu Bisram of North American Caribbean Teachers Association (NACTA) has urged the public to view political surveys like the recent Hamid Ghany poll as snapshots, not predictions.
“Several people asked me to comment on the Ghany poll,” he said, referencing the April 20 Guardian publication. “But it’s not fair or professional for one pollster to critique another’s work. Instead, I’ll speak to how polls are generally done.”
Dr Bisram, who has conducted hundreds of surveys in Trinidad, Tobago, and abroad, said criticism of the Ghany poll’s sample size and ethnic breakdown is largely unfounded.
