A 1-9 June 2011 poll carried out by Consultoria Interdisciplinaria en Desarrollo Latinoamerica (CID Gallup) revealed that 57% of those polled think that former President Hipolito Mejia of the PRD will win the presidential election scheduled for 20 May 2012. 24% said Danilo Medina would win the election, as reported in El Dia. Medina is the leading contender to win the ruling PLD party candidacy. The PLD meets on 26 June to choose its presidential candidate.

If the election were held on the day the person was polled, Mejia would win with 53% of the vote against 30% of Medina. 45% of those polled favored the PRD, compared to 30% of the PLD.

The 30% for the PLD is the lowest percentage for that party over the past 10 years, while the 45% for the PRD is the highest for that party over the same period, for polls carried out by CID, said the polling company.

The poll reflects the rising disapproval and pessimism by Dominicans with the Fernandez government.
