Hoy Hamilton & Staff survey showed that 57% of Dominicans believe Haitians should only be allowed to migrate to the DR if they have a work permit. Moreover, 76% are not against Haitian migration. Sigma Dos/Listin Diario Poll showed that 62.7% of Dominicans feel that Mayor Johnny Ventura has not fulfilled his campaign promises. Those thinking he has done a bad city government are a high 43.2%. This is up from former mayors Suberví (20.5%), and Corporán (37.4%). Mayor Ventura is one of the legends of Dominican merengue music. The late leader of the PRD, José Francisco Peña Gómez, handpicked him for the post.
