Almost seven in every 10 Jamaicans disagree with Golding administration's handling of 'Dudus' extradition request
The highly publicised and much-followed Manatt-Dudus commission of enquiry has apparently impacted the way Jamaicans view the Government's handling of the extradition request for Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.
A Gleaner-commissioned Bill Johnson poll found that the number of Jamaicans who disapproved of the Government's handling of the Coke extradition request increased by a whopping 11 per cent when compared to the views in the country last year.
The poll was conducted among 1,008 people across Jamaica's 14 parishes from May 28 to 29 and June 4 to 5, 2011. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus four per cent.
Compared to April 2010, when 24 per cent of Jamaicans strongly disapproved of the Golding administration's handling of the extradition request, Johnson and his researchers found that the percentage of persons who strongly disapprove of the how the affair was handled soared to 33 per cent.
At the same time, the number of Jamaicans who 'disapproved' of the Government's handling inched from 33 per cent last year to 35 per cent this year. That change, however, is within the poll's margin of error.
