The polling company asked prospective Fernandez voters to give two reasons for their choice. Of those polled, 62% said they would vote for Fernandez because things are going well in the country, 41% for his economic policies, 34% because they always vote PLD, 24% because of President Fernandez’s experience in education, and 9% for the President’s personality.<\/p>\n
