A poll published in Diario Libre that was carried out by Geodata Survey, a Dominican market research company, reveals that corruption is now becoming an important issue for Dominicans. 37.8% told pollsters there is “a lot of corruption” in the country, while 58.4% said “plenty corruption.” Only 2.9% admitted there was just “a little.” In the past, the interest of Dominicans in corruption was minimal, so little that it did not appear in the important problems to be resolved.
When asked which of the governments has been the most corrupt, 43.7% said that of Leonel Fernández, 19.7% that of Hipólito Mejía, 18% that of President Danilo Medina, 8.9% that of Balaguer and 4.6% that of Salvador Jorge Blanco.
When asked if the election were today who they would vote for, 41.% said they would vote for Luis Abinader; 25.6% for Danilo Medina [the 2015 Constitution does not allow him to seek re-election], 7% for Margarita Cedeño, 6.9% for Leonel Fernández, 4.8% Hipólito Mejía, 2.6% Guillermo Moreno. 9.5% said they are undecided.
