Gallup-Hoy poll gives insights into the most attractive politicians in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. The poll includes President Danilo Medina even though he cannot run for President in 2016.
Speaking on the Carmen Imbert morning radio talk show, political analyst Ramon Holguin said that the poll results without Danilo Medina shows Margarita Cedeno claiming around 40% of the perception of who the PLD candidate should be. He commented that she is benefiting from the vote that is favorable to the Medina government.
Holguin stressed this is a political party preference, not the voters’ preference. He said it reflects the acceptance of voters to that politician.
Those polled answered the question “who do you think the party’s Presidential candidate should be?”
The answers for the three leading political parties were:
PLD: Danilo Medina 47.3%, Leonel Fernandez 18.7%, Margarita Cedeno 11.1%, Francisco Javier Garcia 3.1%, Reynaldo Pared Perez 1.7%, Jaime David Fernandez 1.2%.
PRD: Luis Abinader 24.4%, Hipolito Mejia 21.9%, Miguel Vargas 21.3%, Milagros Ortiz Bosch 1.8%, Orlando Jorge Mera 1.1%.
PRSC: Amable Aristy Castro 37.3%, Carlos Morales Troncoso 7.3%, Victor (Ito) Bisono 6.7%, Quique Antun 1.4%, Eduardo Estrella 1.2% Jose Hazim 0.8%.
