Survey Says....

Last week we told you about the opinion poll conducted by a US firm called Viking Strategies, described as a "leading United States political research and sovereign risk firm".

Since 2010, they have been commissioned by the Ashcroft Alliance to conduct polls in Belize - but this 11th survey is the first one that has been published.

The poll has results about the government, the political leaders of the country, power perceptions, views of life in Belize, the economy, tourism and crime.

The lead pollster explained that the results pointed to a high level of confidence in people's earning potential.

The graph shows that respondents who said the cost of living is "terrible" is much higher in 2023 than it was in 2019.
