Freundel out front . . . but Bees still have slight edge

Prime Minister Freundel Stuart is proving himself to be a comeback kid.
The latest NATION/CADRES poll shows that he is leading the head-to-head fight against Owen Arthur in the lead-up to Thursday’s general election.
The Democratic Labour Party (DLP) itself has made a dramatic improvement in its performance in the last month, narrowing the gap with the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) to a statistically insignificant 3.4 per cent. This is also down from the six per cent lead the BLP enjoyed last September.
As a result, Thursday’s vote to choose a new Government is expected to go down to the wire.
