NNN/Bluedot Poll: Holness, JLP Leading Across All Age Groups

Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness and the JLP are receiving strong positive ratings from Jamaicans of all ages as candidates enter the final lap of the 2025 campaign.

That’s according to the latest Nationwide/Bluedot polls, powered by Total Tools.

The poll was conducted between August 19 and 27.

It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.

Mahiri Stewart has the details.

The Bluedot pollsters asked 1,511 registered voters across all age groups whether they have a positive or negative view of Andrew Holness, Mark Golding, the JLP and the PNP.

Holness and the JLP are showing resurgent political strength across all age groups.

Holness’ strongest positive rating was among voters 55 to 64.

Fifty two percent of them are saying they view Holness in a good light.

The JLP net an equal positive rating among that voting bloc.

Of note, the positive sentiment Holness enjoys with this age group is 18 points higher than the 34 percent positive rating enjoyed by Mark Golding.

It’s just a point less than the 17-point advantage the JLP enjoys over the PNP with this age group.

Holness and the JLP are also in a commanding position with voters 45 to 54 years old.

Forty eight percent of them say they view the JLP leader in a positive light.

Again, that’s 18 points higher than the positive rating enjoyed by Mark Golding among this age demographic.

The JLP similarly eclipses the PNP within this age group, holding a comfortable 13-point advantage.

Holness and the JLP also lead Golding and the PNP among voters 18 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 44 and voters over 65.

The voters over 65 were most likely to give the PNP and Mark Golding positive ratings, with 39 percent of them expressing positive ratings for the comrade leader and his party.

The pollsters say these numbers suggest the JLP and its leader are consolidating support heading into next Wednesday’s election, while Mark Golding and the PNP are struggling to break through.

But the race is not over yet.

With four days to go, both parties must now make their final pitch as voters decide if they should ‘Choose Jamaica’ or declare ‘Time Come’.
