Opinion Poll Reactions

The latest Infotrak opinion poll that indicates Prime Minister Raila Odinga is the clear man to beat in the 2012 presidential poll has triggered a flurry of reactions. Mps allied to vice president Kalonzo Musyoka and higher education minister William Ruto, who were ranked lower in the pecking order, dismissed the polls as fake, and untenable. But as Francis Gachuri reports, political re-alignment for 2012 is already in top gear even as debate on the latest poll gathers a lot of steam and pace.
