Salvadorans Favor FMLN
for 2009
Opposition FMLN (Farabundo
Marti National
Liberation Front) is
leading voter preference
by a broad margin in San
Salvador against the
ruling ARENA party
(Nationalist Republican
Alliance), a survey
revealed Wednesday.
According to El Diario
de Hoy poll, 23.5
percent favors current
FMLN Mayor Violeta
Menjivar to the question
"for whom would you vote
to be mayor of San
Salvador if elections
were held today?"
ARENA's Norman Quijano
would get 15.9 percent
for a substantial 7.6
percent difference.
When asked which party
they would vote for in
2009 general elections,
FMLN reached the highest
percentage of votes
(32.1), with ARENA
getting 26.7 percent.
Salvadorans will go to
the polls on January 18,
2009 to elect
legislators and mayors,
and on March 15, 2009 to
choose the country's
president and vice
president. |
