The Listín Diario/Sigma Dos poll released today indicates that if the elections were held today, Hipólito Mejía (PRD) would receive 39% of the vote, Danilo Medina (PLD) 27% and Joaquín Balaguer (PRSC) 21%. The newspaper says that the results show that no candidate has sufficient popularity to win the election in the 16 May 2000 first round. In case a candidate does not achieve 50%+1 of the vote, a second round will be held on 30 June, with the participation of the first and second placed parties. Sigma Dos pollsters interviewed 1,200 persons able to vote from 21-25 March.
