The margin of error of the poll is 2.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other polls, namely Gallup, indicate that Abinader would win in a second round vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers mean that an alliance of Fern\u00e1ndez and Mart\u00ednez could mean a win in the 2024 presidential election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fern\u00e1ndez was President of the Republic for three terms (1996-2000, 2000-2004 and 2004-2008). He sought to be the PLD candidate in the 2020 election, but the party chose Danilo Medina&#8217;s public works minister, Gonzalo Castillo. This resulted in Fern\u00e1ndez splitting from the party to form the People&#8217;s Force (Fuerza del Pueblo) and running separately in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vega observes that President Luis Abinader won the 2020 election with 52.52%. His popularity has dropped only 5.5% despite the difficulties in dealing with Covid-19 and the imported inflation resulting from the Ukraine war and high oil prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vega says the poll reveals that Luis Abinader is more prevalent among men and those over 35, while Leonel Fernandez is more prevalent among women and young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says those proclaiming themselves as independents represent 33% of the voters. The vote of these independents is 41% in favor of Abinader, 34% in favor of Fernandez, and 23% in favor of Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Politicians rated best in the least of favorable were Luis Abinader (52% favorable and 13% unfavorable) and David Collado (51% favorable and 22 unfavorable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the other 12 politicians have a net negative unfavorability. Although Leonel Fernandez has a 42% favorable rating, he has a 48% rejection rate. Abel Martinez is viewed favorably by 40% but his rejection rate is 42%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/encuesta-mark-penn-stagwell-luis-abinader-47-leonel-fernandez-32-abel-martinez-19\/\">Hoy <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>24 May 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mark Penn\/Stagwell Poll places President Luis Abinader (Modern Revolutionary Party) in the lead with 47%, former three-term President Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez (People\u2019s Force) with 32% and Santiago Mayor Abel Mart\u00ednez (Dominican Liberation Party) with 19%, writes Bernardo Vega in Hoy.
