If the elections were held today, President Leonel Fernandez would fall short of the 50%+1 vote needed to win in a first round, according to the latest Hamilton-El Dia poll conducted in March. A total 48% of voters would favor Fernandez (PLD), 31% would vote for Miguel Vargas (PRD) and 19% would vote for Amable Aristy (PRSC), 19%. One per cent said they would vote for Eduardo Estrella of the Fourth Option, a PRSC and PRD dissident group. The poll showed Fernandez as strongest in Santiago, with 56%. Vargas has his strongest backing in northern and southern provinces with 33%, and Aristy is strongest in the east with 24%.
The same poll showed that Fernandez would win in a second round, with 51% of the vote, while Miguel Vargas would receive 34%.
Hamilton polled 1,200 eligible voters.
