The Gallup-Hoy April 2019 survey focuses on several political scenarios that include President Danilo Medina despite the constitutional ban for him to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Dominicans were asked by Gallup pollsters who will be the next President the top five candidates were: Danilo Medina 23.9%, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez 17.4%, Luis Abinader 17.2%, Margarita Cede\u00f1o 4.9%, Ramfis Dom\u00ednguez Trujillo 1.8%. Of the top five mentioned spontaneously by those polled, Dom\u00ednguez is not eligible to run as per the 2015 Constitution that requires a citizen of another country to have renounced that citizenship 10 years prior to pursuing the Dominican presidential position. Dom\u00ednguez is a US citizen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if the presidential elections were today, for which party would the person vote for, the top five answers were: PLD 38.2%, PRM 25.3%, PRD 4.3%, PRSC 1.8%, Alianza Pais 1.5%. After 15 years of rule of the PLD, 58.4% of eligible voters polled by Gallup said it would be best for another party to govern. Only 34.8% said it is convenient for the PLD to remain in power. The government is the largest employer in the country and carries out extensive social assistance programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When ruling PLD followers were asked who they would vote for in a PLD primary, the responses were: Danilo Medina 49.5%, Leonel Fernandez 27.9%, Margarita Cede\u00f1o 3%, Francisco Dom\u00ednguez Brito 1.1%, Reinaldo Pared P\u00e9rez 1.1%, Radhames Segura 0.2%, Francisco Javier Garc\u00eda 0.2%, Abel Mart\u00ednez 0.2%, Andr\u00e9s Navarro 0.2%, Tem\u00edstocles Mont\u00e1s 0.2%, Carlos Amarante Baret 0.2%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the registered members of the PLD, the response was slightly different: Danilo Medina 47%, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez 35.6%, Margarita Cede\u00f1o 2.4%, Francisco Dom\u00ednguez Brito 1.2%, Radhames Segura 0.4%, Felix Bautista 0.4%, Juan Jos\u00e9 Rosario 0.4%, Francisco Javier Garc\u00eda 0.4%, Andres Navarro 0.4%, Tem\u00edstocles Mont\u00e1s 0.4%, Carlos Amarante Baret 0.4%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the voters that are partisan to the PRM, 78% said they would vote for Luis Abinader in a party primary, while only 9.5% would vote for Hip\u00f3lito Mej\u00eda, and 1.5% for David Collado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the PRSC, 51.7% of the voters partisan to that party said they do not know who should be the presidential candidate for that party, while 34% said it should be Federico Ant\u00fan Batlle, the party president, or deputy V\u00edctor Bison\u00f3 with 13.8%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding, the PRD, a leading ally to the PLD in the present government of Medina, of those who said they follow that party, 59.3% said they do not know who should be the presidential candidate. 25.9% said it should be Miguel Vargas Maldonado, 5.6% chose Guido G\u00f3mez Mzara and 1.9% Tony Pe\u00f1a Guaba. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among minority parties, 37% responded that Guillermo Moreno should be the candidate to the presidency for the Alianza Pa\u00eds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gallup poll was undertaken from 25-29 April 2019 with 1,200 participants, and a margin of error of +\/- 2.8%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
