The results of the Newlink Dominican Republic automated telephone poll on 3 April 2019 reveal that President Danilo Medina is the best-rated Dominican politician, but he only has the favor of 21.1% of Dominicans eligible to vote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of those at this time eligible to run in the 2020 general elections, the popularity ratings are also low: Luis Abinader of the PRM with 20.4%; former President Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez 19.9%; Mayor of the National District David Collado 19.8%; and Vice President Margarita Cede\u00f1o (wife of Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez), 10.4%. Former President Hip\u00f3lito Mej\u00eda, who aspires to be on the PRM ticket, has a popularity rating of 5.8%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Fern\u00e1ndez and Cede\u00f1o, others who aspire to be the ruling PLD party presidential candidate rated: president of the Senate Reinaldo Pared P\u00e9rez 0.8%, and former Education Minister Andr\u00e9s Navarro 1.1%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same poll indicated that Fern\u00e1ndez would win the PLD primaries with 41.1%, up slightly from the 40.3% rating he received in the same poll carried out in December 2018. Fern\u00e1ndez defeats other contenders for the PLD ticket that are his wife, Vice President Margarita Cede\u00f1o, 24.8%; former Education Minister, Andres Navarro, 14.5%; Tourism Minister Francisco Javier Garc\u00eda, 5.7%; senator Reinaldo Pared P\u00e9rez 5.2%; Public Works Minister Gonzalo Castillo 4.8%; and former Interior &amp; Police Minister Carlos Amarante Baret 3.8%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The poll does not include President Danilo Medina because the 2015 Constitution bans him from running for President in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same poll indicates that National District Mayor David Collado (41.7%) would win the PRM primary compared to PRM presidential candidate, Lu\u00eds Abinader, 37.%, and former President Hip\u00f3lito Mej\u00eda (2000-2004), 20.9%. In the December poll, Collado was rated 41.7%, compared to 38% of Abinader and 20.4% of Mej\u00eda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3 April 2019 telephone poll used the Newbot system and reached out to 66,283 persons of a population of 6,042,471 persons of 18 years old or older. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-republica\/2019\/04\/08\/560444\/newlink-politicos-con-mejor-imagen\">Listin Diario<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-republica\/2019\/04\/09\/560589\/leonel-y-collado-siguen-al-frente-en-el-pld-y-el-prm\">Listin Diario <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9 April 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politicians could be at a record low in popularity in the Dominican Republic.
