While a November 2010 Gallup-Hoy poll showed PRD's 2008 presidential candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado leading against former President Hipolito Mejia, the February follow-up survey tells a markedly different story. Gallup RD president Rafael Acevedo released results yesterday that show Mejia has 52.6% of the preferences leading into the PRD primary, compared to 41.7%. 5.8% are undecided. Of respondents who said they were PRD members, 60.6% said they favored Mejia and 39% Vargas. Miguel Vargas had reported that a November 2010 poll showed he had a 52%-40% advantage over Mejia within the PRD and a 44 to 30% advantage in the general population.
In the Santo Domingo metropolitan area province, nevertheless, Vargas led slightly with 48% to Mejia's 47.5%. 4.5% were undecided. In the equally important voting area of the north, 58% favored Mejia and 35.5% Vargas.
In the PLD, the poll shows Danilo Medina leads with 62.1%, First Lady Margarita Cedeno has 10.7%, Vice President Rafael Alburquerque has 6.6%, Francisco Dominguez Brito 5.8% and Jose Tomas Perez 5.6% of the preferences into that party's primary. Moreover, of the people who said they were PLD followers, 64.3% said they favored Medina, 13.6% Cedeno, 6.7% Alburquerque, 5.8% Dominguez and 5.1% Perez.
For the PRSC, the poll showed that Amable Aristy leads with 51.8%, followed by Carlos Morales Troncoso with 22.4%, Victor Bisono with 8.2% and Federico Antun Batlle with 4.1%. Of those who said they were PRSC followers, 60.6% favored Aristy, 14% Morales, 11.6% Bisono and 9.3% Antun.
