RW, SLPP continue to gain support in May
Saturday, 8 July 2023 00:34 - - 558
In May polling for IHP’s Sri Lanka Opinion Tracker Survey (SLOTS) MRP tracking of Presidential Election voting intent, support for NPP/JVP Leader A.K. Dissanayake and SJB Leader Sajith Premadasa fell to 38% and 34%, respectively amongst likely voters.
Support went to President Ranil Wickremesinghe and the generic SLPP candidate, increasing to 18% and 10% respectively.
Estimates are associated with a margin of error of 1–4%. The changes in May maintain the pattern seen since mid-2022, when support for President Gotabaya Rajapaksa collapsed largely to the benefit of NPP/JVP Leader A.K. Dissanayake.
Support for Sajith Premadasa continues to fluctuate in the 30-40% range, whilst support swings between A.K. Dissanayake on one side, and President Ranil Wickremesinghe and the generic SLPP candidate on the other.
IHP is an independent, non-partisan research centre based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The SLOTS Lead Investigator is Dr. Ravi Rannan-Eliya of IHP, who has trained in public opinion polling at Harvard University and has conducted numerous surveys over three decades.
