Sigma Dos poll commissioned by the List?n Diario shows that former President Joaqu?n Balaguer is the strongest candidate of the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano. An earlier Gallup poll commissioned by Hoy newspaper had showed that former Vice President Jacinto Peynado was by far a more preferred candidate. The Spanish Sigma Dos polling organization, nevertheless, found that 73.8% of the Reformistas surveyed would vote for the nonagenarian statesman if he were to run again in the year 2000 elections. Peynado received a distant favor of 15.3%, former Vice President Carlos Morales Troncoso 1.7%. Because of physical limitations, it is very unlikely that the politician will run for President in year 2000.
