A Hamilton-Listin poll, printed in today's Listin Diario shows that 55% of Dominicans are opposed to presidential re-election, while 33% feel that the process should remain the same, where as there is a term and the re-election for a candidate. Ten percent of the public feels that the President should be re-elected without limit and 2% had no opinion on the matter. The poll was conducted between 2 and 6 December with 1,200 people being polled and a +/- 3% margin of error. The poll of political parties shows that 78% of PRSC members are against re-election (ironically, PRSC leader the late Joaquin Balaguer sought reelection six times, winning on five occasions), while 72% of the PRD and only 36% of the PLD are against it.
Interestingly enough, 44% of Dominicans believe that a female President is a possibility, while 35% feel it's somewhat possible, 13% feel it's not so possible and 9% feel it's completely impossible.
