What the Constitution says has traditionally not been an impediment for a President to seek re-election. The Constitution disqualified former President Hip\u00f3lito Mej\u00eda from running for re-election in 2004 and President Danilo Medina from running in 2016, and both pushed forward constitutional changes in order to run for re-election. This time around, the Medina faction is majority in Congress, making it easier to propose the changes to accommodate re-election.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, despite the fact that presidential elections are not scheduled until 2020, polls are focusing on who are the most popular pre-candidates, including President Medina.<\/p>\n<p>The Centro Econ\u00f3mico de Cibao (CEC) poll reported voter preferences of possible 2020 candidates. The poll included President Danilo Medina supposing he would seek a third term that would require a change to the 2015 Constitution. The poll only included eligible voters in the National District, seat of the capital city of the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the CEC poll are: Danilo Medina 43.2%, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez 17.5%, neither 32.5%. Among PLD followers, the vote is Medina 56.9%, Fern\u00e1ndez 26.7%, neither 9.2%.<\/p>\n<p>CEC reveals that National District voters are happy with Mayor David Collado. He received an approval rating of 74.4% for his municipal management. Those polled cited improved government services, such as garbage collection and the construction of public works under Mayor Collado.<\/p>\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariolibre.com\/noticias\/politica\/en-el-distrito-el-43-2-prefiere-a-danilo-para-las-elecciones-de-2020-el-17-5-a-leonel-DA8367261\" target=\"_blank\">Diario Libre<\/a><\/p>\n<p>16 October 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Danilo Medina is banned by the 2015 Constitution from running for re-election.
