El Siglo newspaper Penn, Schoen & Berland poll shows that in a second electoral round, Hipólito Mejía of the PRD would win the election regardless of whether his contender were Joaquín Balaguer of the PRSC or Danilo Medina of the PLD. The survey shows that if Mejía were to run against Balaguer, the results would be PRD 48%, and PRSC 42%. If he were to run against Medina, the results would be PRD 53% and PLD 35%. Interestingly, in the unlikely scenario of a Balaguer vs. Medina confrontation, the vote would be 45% Balaguer and 28% Medina, according to Penn, Schoen & Berland. The same poll showed that if the election took place today, Hipólito Mejía of the PRD would receive 44% of the vote, Joaquin Balaguer of the PRSC 24% and Danilo Medina of the PLD, 23%. The survey took place nationwide 7 to 15 March. Some 1,400 potential voters were polled.
