"Yes" side poised for land slide victory in the August 2010 Kenyan draft constitution referendum

The "Yes" group campaigning for the proposed constitution in Kenya is still ahead according to the latest polls, less than two weeks to the referendum. The polls released almost simultaneously by two different survey firms on July 23rd 2010, indicated an almost similar margin between the two referendum sides in each poll.

Research firm Synovate indicated a 58 per cent vote in favour of the proposed constitution, while 22 per cent of Kenyans will reject the document at the August 4 referendum. A significant 17 percent have yet to make up their minds, 12 days to the plebiscite.The Synovate poll was held between July 11 and 17

A similar survey by Infotrak Harris poll puts the percentage of those who intend to for the draft Yes at 65 per cent, while 25 per cent will reject the proposed constitution if the referendum were to be held today. Only 10 per cent of Kenyans reported indecisiveness. Infotrak Harris polled Kenyans between July 17-19.

What is emerging at this point is that in both studies Kenyan indicate an overwhelming support for the draft constitution.
