• While the survey reflects the perception of the responding individuals, it is not

conclusive – although it gives us a glimpse of how voters may decide next year, and

at the same time providing prospective candidates a gateway to direct their future campaign activities into areas where they

may be lagging behind.

• Still, this survey was conducted with the hope of instilling the election atmosphere

into the consciousness of the voting public – thus creating in them a sense of being

more cautious in their future choices.
