Candidates respond to polls

[NewsWhore]

Candidates in this year's presidential elections have responded to yesterday's CID Latinoamericana-Listin survey. Miguel Vargas Maldonado said that he respects the poll, which placed him on top with 37.2% of the vote, but said that polls run by his campaign and other organizations put his lead at nine percentage points higher. PRSC candidate Amable Aristy Castro said that those polls don't reflect his share of the vote which he claims to be around 26%. He says that the true results will be revealed on 16 May when the public speaks. PLD campaign manager Francisco Javier Garcia didn't give much credence to the polls, saying that the results are only for use at the local level. He added that in December the CID released a poll in which President Leonel Fernandez had 46% of the vote.
