53%, 37%, 6% in poll

[NewsWhore]

President Leonel Fernandez has widened his lead, according to the most recent Greenberg-Diario Libre poll. The poll found that 53% of voters would vote for the President, four points up from last month's poll. This would give Fernandez enough of the vote to win in a first round, where 50%+1 of the vote is required. A total of 37% said they would vote for leading opposition contender, Miguel Vargas of the PRD. A further 6% said they would vote for Amable Aristy Castro, who has campaigned as the "candidate of the poor" for the PRSC. Pedro de Jesus Candelier showed up with 1% of the vote, but Eduardo Estrella of the PRD and PRSC dissident organizations, and Guillermo Moreno, the two candidates who have made the strongest stand against corruption, did not get any votes. Neither did Trajano Santana of the PRI, a spin-off from the PRD founded several years ago. Diario Libre points out that Fernandez leads Vargas by 16 points, up from nine in the previous poll.
