Saint Lucia: A massive polling survey conducted by WIC News with a sample size of 4359 predicted a landslide victory for the Saint Lucia Labour Party. The survey outlined that the United Workers Party is trailing behind in 28 constituencies as around 65% of the total voters expressed their intent to vote for SLP, while 29% would vote for UWP. 

Early polling trends from a recent WIC News survey indicate a strong advantage for the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) across most constituencies ahead of the December 1, 2025 general elections. The survey, which captured responses from 4,359 participants, outlines how voter sentiment is shaping up in several key battlegrounds.
