Danilo Medina said that he will not vary his campaign strategy. He was responding to observations made by Vice President Jaime David Fernández who urged the PLD candidate to find ways to make his the popularity of the Fernández administration. Danilo Medina said that his candidacy is solid in the second place. Two recent polls – Penn, Schoen & Berland and Gallup – placed him in March behind nonagenarian former President Balaguer. "I will continue increasing in voters’ preference, as we get nearer to the election date, when Dominicans will become more rational and less passionate," he said. Nevertheless, his vice presidential candidate, Amilcar Romero told Hoy newspaper that the reason why Danilo Medina hasn’t been able to capitalize on the popularity of the government of President Leonel Fernández is that his campaign marketers have not been able to sell the achievements of the PLD administration to the public.
