Important findings, two months before the big battle of the Presidential Elections, in relation to the acceptance of the candidates by the electorate, the 2nd major poll of the Cyprus Times, conducted by Analytica Market Research.[/B]
The poll presents findings based on a very large sample of 5160 respondents.
It was conducted between 21 and 28 November 2022, through telephone interviews and online questionnaires. [/P]What the Cyprus Times poll records and how it "translates" for each candidate, representatives of the staffs of the three main contenders for the presidency comment on our website.
SEE HERE: More and more of our fellow citizens trust Averof Neophytou
"Another poll confirms the steady rise in voting intentions for Averof Neophytou," comments Giorgia Constantinou Panagiotou, spokeswoman for Mr Neophytou's staff. "In the main stake of the economy, Averof Neophytou is ranked first by a large margin since according to the poll, citizens trust him with the highest percentage of all his runners-up, who gather much lower percentages, even lower than their percentages in the voting intention. The poll also shows that in terms of the ability to govern the country, Averof Neophytou is the only candidate who scores higher than the recorded voting intention. More and more of our fellow citizens trust Averof Neophytou as the most capable to govern the country. And this is because Averof Neophytou is the one who knows with whom and how he will govern, with clear proposals and guided by the program and positions of DISY."
"A drop is observed once again in the voting intention towards Mr Christodoulides, which is a natural consequence of the steady increase in the rallying of the voters of the parliamentary party since as the public dialogue continues, it is revealed who will really govern in case of the election of Nicos Christodoulides."
"A drop is observed once again in the voting intention towards Mr Christodoulides, which is a natural consequence of the steady increase in the rallying of the voters of the parliamentary party since as the public dialogue continues, it is revealed who will really govern in case of the election of Nicos Christodoulides. The polls are changing at a steady pace in favour of Averof Neophytou. Mr Christodoulides with Mr Nicola Papadopoulos, Marinos Sizopoulos, Marios Karoyan and the rest of their consortium, are unable to give convincing answers to the people about the contradictions and lies of their election campaign, while Mr.Mavroyiannis is overshadowed by the absence of a plan for the economy and the outdated policies of AKEL.
The closer we get to the elections, the more citizens realise the crucial stakes and worry about the next day. What is demonstrated in the poll is that citizens primarily trust Averof Neophytou to keep a steady hand on the wheel of our economy so that our country remains on a stable course without risks and experimentation," concludes Georgia Constantinou Panayiotou.
Panos Parras: Mavroyiannis, my only one can beat Christodoulides
"The poll shows the clear trend in favour of the independent candidacy of Andreas Mavroyiannis, which reflects the general picture we see in our meetings with the people, with ordinary citizens and organised bodies. There is a strong climate of enthusiasm around the candidacy of Mavroyiannis, as we increasingly perceive the anxiety of the people for our country to finally turn the page," comments his Staff Spokesman, Panos Parras. This is also evident in your poll. Andreas Mavroyiannis is the only candidate who registers the biggest rise with 2.5%, while Mr Christodoulides has a downward trend. Also, the percentage of AKEL's coalescence around our candidate is very satisfactory for this period, while at the same time there is huge room for growth. It is worth noting here another very important element from your poll. That Andreas Mavroyiannis has access to all party areas which has increased compared to your previous measurement. More specifically, from DIKO, PPP and Ecologists, there is a large flow of voters. Therefore, the upward trend and the coalescence around his candidacy is clearly strengthened with reserves for further growth. This demonstrates the versatility of Andreas Mavroyiannis' independent candidacy. If one takes into account the downward trend in the candidacy of Christodoulides from the respective places, it can be concluded that there is room for a turnaround. In terms of qualitative characteristics, again there is an upward trend, while in the management of open issues such as the Cyprus problem, the difference with Mr. Christodoulides is on the verge of statistical error. "Regarding the second round scenarios, a scenario of N. Christodoulides and Andreas Mavroyiannis is becoming more and more likely. At the same time, through the general upward trend of Mavroyiannis' candidacy, there is a great prospect of winning the elections. He beats Mr. Averof Neophytou while he is the only one who can beat Mr. Christodoulides as their difference is only 4%. This is evidenced by the big increase that Mr. Mavroyiannis has in the victory performance.
We continue to deliver to the citizens our vision for the Cyprus of tomorrow. The vast majority of our fellow citizens are not satisfied with the current governance of which our two main runners-up present themselves as continuers, while 90% feel disappointment, resentment, uncertainty and anxiety. To all of them we send a message of hope. We invite them to join forces with the candidacy of Andreas Mavroyiannis, as he is the only one who can bring change to our country, with honesty, sincerity and hard work."
Marilena Evangellou: Almost one in two believe that Christodoulides will be the winner
"Polls are a useful tool for measuring public opinion. We recognize that they are a photo of the moment so despite the positive results in all surveys for independent presidential candidate Nicos Christodoulides, we study them and file them away in the drawer the next day," says Marina Evangellou, Press Office Coordinator for Nicos Christodoulides.
"In your poll as well, Mr Christodoulides is ahead of his main rivals by a wide margin. Almost one in two people (47%) believe that Nicos Christodoulides will be the winner of the elections, while in both scenarios of the second round, both with Mr. Averof Neophytou and Mr. Andreas Mavroyiannis, the results give him a comfortable lead. We take seriously into account the results of all the surveys in relation to the challenges that the majority considers the greatest, but also the views of the citizens through the dialogue that Nicos Christodoulides continues to conduct with society."
"Therefore, with a sense of responsibility, we focus our efforts on the realistic, feasible and costed proposals of Mr. Christodoulides' programme for all policy areas, which are posted on the website [URL=HTTPS:/L.FACEBOOK.COM/L.PHP?U=HTTP%3A%2F%2FWWW.CHRISTODOULIDES2023.COM%2F%3FFBCLID%3DIWAR3B5WMGK8JQZVCTLTOJGWFNJ9JD2HAUK5MBBMY0VHD9M09KBVAWG1XZ7QE&H=AT27QBC3YECSPS_KCUBLPW00IXFUEEVDHAOG8MHUIWS4VETNIYWRI_YX5QYUPKJCURYCS6R0LOS8GLKXET4MAJQ_WQJ6GESK5HU7RDALW0APMOMN7LMIDYKNQUG89C75CBQ]www.christodoulides2023.com
. We warmly thank the citizens of all party backgrounds and ideological and political orientations who support the independent, diverse candidacy of Nikos Christodoulides. Our assurance is that we will continue to work even more intensively as the time towards election day decreases with political maturity and responsibility."
