Approval ratings at 69% for President Medina, says poll

Noticias SIN has published more details of its April 2013 Penn, Schoen, Berland public opinion poll. The survey confirms President Medina’s high approval ratings in recent public opinion polls at 69%.

The polls show that 70% would like Medina to run again. However, the 2010 Constitution prohibits consecutive re-election in the DR.

The poll shows that Medina is especially popular among young voters (aged 18-24), with 77% feeling the country is on the right track under Medina, compared to 59% of people over the age of 55.

The poll also asked Dominican voters what they considered the biggest problems:

Crime 36%, employment 20%, cost of living 18%, blackouts 4%, corruption in government 4%, presence of Haitians 3%, drugs 2%, hunger 2%, education system deficiencies 2%, others 10%.
