A Sigma Dos poll commissioned by the List?n Diario, the leading Dominican daily, shows Hip?lito Mej?a as the leading pre-candidate of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano. Mej?a has consistently placed ahead in most polls that seek to determine who should be the PRD presidential pre-candidate for the 16 May 2000 presidential election. So far, most polls show that if the elections were held today, Mej?a would be the man to beat. In the Spanish company poll, Mej?a lead runner up Rafael Suberv? 57.5% to 26.8%. Santo Domingo senator Milagros Ort?z Bosch is shown to be in third place of the poll with 6.8%. Party secretary general Hatuey Decamps is fourth with 5.6% and Santiago senator Jos? R. Abinader is fifth with 0.7%.
