A new Greenberg-Diario Libre poll released today shows President Fernandez (PLD) leading with 47% of the intended vote, followed by Miguel Vargas Maldonado (PRD) with 34% and Amable Aristy (PRSC) with 10%. 50%+1 of the vote is needed to win in a first round. The poll was carried out from 28 January to 3 February by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, an electoral research firm based in Washington, D.C. As reported in Diario Libre, the analysis of the poll findings shows that 51% of the voters would vote for Fernandez, compared to 31% for Vargas Maldonado. The difference among men is less, with 42% to 38%. Vargas only leads in the north (Santiago, Puerto Plata), with 42% to 39%. In the East, Fernandez leads with 57%, 24% Vargas and 13% Amable Aristy. In the National District, the PLD candidate has enough votes to win in the first round with 52%, while Vargas has 30% and Amable Aristy 8%. In the poorest region, the south, Fernandez leads with 45%, Vargas has 38% and Aristy has 14%.
Diario Libre points out that while 47% of those polled say that the country is not headed in the right direction, 54% of Dominicans say they are better off today compared to four years ago, under the opposition PRD party.
Greenberg Quinlan Rosner describes itself as the world's premium research and strategic consulting firm, working with corporations, issue groups and political campaigns throughout the United States and around the world.
