A Gallup regional opinion poll that looked into public perception regarding Central American and Caribbean presidents placed Ricardo Martinelli from Panama and Mauricio Funes of El Salvador at the top. The same poll placed Dominican Leonel Fernandez and Hondura's Porfirio Lobo at the bottom of the list of the survey.

As reported in El Caribe, the CID Gallup poll asked 1,200 Dominicans for their opinions. Only 30% gave their approval of the way Fernandez is handling matters of state.

Funes, on the other hand, had an approval rating of 34 that is the difference between those who approve and those who do not. In this case Funes had a 64% approval rating and a 30% disapproval, which gave the +34 rating.

Fernandez received a negative rating of 63% and a positive rating of 30% for an overall rating of -33, which the pollsters say "clouds the already adverse panorama for a possible re-election or continuation of the ruling party."

Polled Dominicans commented that poverty, crime and corruption are issues their President had not been able to resolve.

The next to last in the ratings was Porfirio Lobo, from Honduras, who received a 1, with 45% in favor and 44% against.
