The poll shows the President has a 65% approval rating, but would only reach 49% of those who say they will vote in the 19 May 2024 election. The Dominican electoral rules require a candidate to receive 50% + 1 vote to win in a first round. A second round vote would be necessary, says the Greenberg-Diario Libre poll.

Of those who say they will vote, 49% say they will vote for Abinader, 29% for Fernandez and 17% for Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>81% of those polled acknowledge the economic growth but say it has not trickled down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariolibre.com\/actualidad\/politica\/2023\/12\/04\/abinader-lleva-delantera-segun-encuesta-greenberg-diario-libre\/2540721\">Diario Libre <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 December 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Greenberg-Diario Libre poll results, published in the 4 December 2023 edition of the leading free newspaper, indicate that President Luis Abinader does not have sufficient voter support to win in a first round.
