<p>The poll results were released days after Rise United made public a Don Anderson poll it commissioned. That poll showed Bunting with a 36 per cent support as the person best placed to lead the PNP to victory over the governing Jamaica Labour Party.</p>

<p>Rise United campaign manager, Dr Dayton Campbell said in a release that Phillips’ poll is a desperate attempt to confuse the public. He cited as an example of a leading and biased question the query about which candidate has the most experience to lead the PNP.</p>

<p>“Of course, one does not need a poll to determine that Dr Phillips' decades in politics and three years as party leader would make him more experienced than Comrade Bunting,” he said. “However, the issue is that — notwithstanding that experience — Dr Phillips is not seen as an effective leader. This is reflected in all polls over the last few years, including a poll done by the same Bill Johnson in March 2019,” he added.</p>
