Poll: PRSC faithful would pick Balaguer

In today’s installment of Listin Diario’s slow trickle of results from its recent poll conducted with the Spanish firm Sigma Dos, PRSC party faithful were asked who they would vote for in primaries to decide the Reformista candidate for the year 2000 presidential elections. To no one’s surprise, 71.4% said PRSC leader and ex-President Dr. Joaqu?n Balaguer, with ex-Vice President and businessman Jacinto Peynado running a distant second at 16.8%. Balaguer’s numbers dropped two points since a similar poll in December, while Peynado’s rose 1.5 points. Both changes, however, are within the poll’s margin of error.
