Danilo continues strong, but there is a potential path to victory for the PRM
SANTO DOMINGO. With the presidential elections of 2016 just 14 months away, Danilo Medina continues being the political figure with the strongest popular image and at a great distance from the others. A strong majority favors his work as President and a robust 71% say they would vote for his reelection.

Nevertheless, if Medina is not on the presidential ballot, the presidential race of 2016 becomes less secure for the Dominican Liberation Party and for Leonel Fernandez, according to a recent national survey by the Greenburg, Quinlan, Rosner firm for the Diario Libre.

The information shows that the image of former President Fernandez received a hard blow with the coverage given the declarations by Quirino Ernesto Castillo. His favorability rating - especially among PLD members - has fallen, and although Fernandez would win with a plurality of votes in the first round of the electoral sceneries, nevertheless he is behind by a slight margin to Hipolito Mejia and Luis Abinader in a run-off in a second round of voting.

The national survey was carried out between 3 and 8 March, and was designed and analyzed by Greenburg, Quinlan, Rosner, an international polling firm with headquarters in Washington, D. C., In the United States, and with offices all over the world, including one for Latin America in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A sample of 1007 adult Dominicans were interviewed. The margin of error of the random sample is +/- 3.1% and the confidence level is 95%.
