63.7% of Dominicans feel that corruption has either increased (49.9%) or stayed the same (13.8%), according to a Gallup poll published by Hoy newspaper. The survey then asked whether they thought that there was more corruption than during the Mejia government in this administration, and those polled responded 29.8% more, 20.7 the same, and 46.7% less. The survey found that 25% of PRD followers feel there is more corruption in this government, while 33% of PLD followers say there is the same amount of corruption. For the survey, 1,200 Dominicans of voting age were interviewed from 9-13 August.
The same survey found that 47.4% of those polled described themselves as PLD followers. Only 34% described themselves as supporters of opposition parties.
Hoy newspaper interviewed Octavio Lister, director of the government anti-corruption office (DPCA) about the finding that 57.8% of the population is not impressed with the government's efforts in fighting corruption. Lister said that so far this government has investigated 156 corruption cases, of which 90 were not followed through for lack of proof or for concluding that no fault was committed. He said that 16 have been processed.
