The Greenberg Quinlan Rosner-Diario Libre poll shows President Leonel Fernandez of the ruling PLD party winning this Friday's presidential election in the first round with 55% of the vote. The PRD's Miguel Vargas is second with 37% and the PRSC's Amable Aristy is third with 6%.
The polling company asked prospective Fernandez voters to give two reasons for their choice. Of those polled, 62% said they would vote for Fernandez because things are going well in the country, 41% for his economic policies, 34% because they always vote PLD, 24% because of President Fernandez's experience in education, and 9% for the President's personality.
The poll showed that voters are indifferent about the PLD's use of public funds for the presidential campaign.
The poll also shows that the opposition party has not been able to capitalize on negative events in the country. It mentions that 82% of Dominicans said they were affected by the rising food prices, and that 62% of Dominicans disapprove of the way the government has reacted to the situation. The polling company says that leading opposition candidate Miguel Vargas's voter support remained steady at 37% in their March, April and May polls.
