The recently released Gallup-Hoy poll reveals that 53.3% of the 1,200 persons able to vote that were interviewed feel that the government is not doing a good job within the education sector. An even lower perception of performance is perceived for other areas of the economy, fighting drugs, the energy sector or Haitian immigration.
Of those polled 77.6% said that the government is not doing a good job in the area of Haitian migration, while 75.8% believe the government is not doing a good job with food prices and 75.6% feel they aren't working properly in the effort to create jobs.
With regards to the energy sector, 63.8% believe the government has done a poor job managing the situation.
The same Gallup-Hoy poll reveals that 45% of Dominicans are unhappy with how the government has handled the effects of the international financial crisis, while only 35% feel the government has done a good job.
Also, 49% of those interviewed say they don't agree with the measures the government has taken during this time, while 45% do agree with the measures adopted by the government. Among the measures implemented are a loan from the Inter American Development Bank for US$300 million, to free up credit, flexibility in bank credits, reduction of interest rates and a temporary flexibility of prudence norms.
The poll also revealed that 60% of those interviewed feel that President Leonel Fernandez only governs for a privileged few, while 36% feels he governs for the benefit of the country.
In the same poll, 8 of every 10 Dominicans say they are against the installation of a cement plant in the buffer zone of the Los Haitises National Park.
