President Fernandez in an interview for the Corripio group.
SANTO DOMINGO.- President Leonel Fernandez would win in the first ballot with 54 percent of the votes, with opposition PRD party candidate Miguel Vargas getting 30 percent, according to a poll published today by weekly newspaper Clave.
The last three major surveys published in the country place the ruling PLD party candidate in a strong position to get reelected, in the first round, with support averaging around 53 percent. The opposition PRSC party candidate Amable Aristy would get 8 percent of the vote, according to the poll.
The Spanish company NOXA, in coordination with the Social Studies and Research Center (CIES) personally interviewed 1,600 Dominicans eligible to vote, from March 25 to 30, with a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points, Clave said.

I think Leonel has this one won...
For me it causes little difference, as I don't see any of the other contenders better.

On the surface, it looks like Fernandez lost 4 points between ASISA and NOXA, a point gap that slightly exceeds the margins of error .... 3.1 and 2.5 respectively... of the two polls.
But this image of Fernandez losing flow is illusory.

On April 4, the newspaper El Caribe reported a poll by ASISA that gave Fernandez is 58 points.
http://www.dominicantoday.com/dr/....nt-wider-lead-5-weeks-to-electionSix days later, today, April 10, the weekly newspaper Clave reports a poll by NOXA that gives Fernandez 54 points, a drop of 4 points.
But no conclusion about the flow of the presidential race can be drawn from the results of the two polls, because in order to show flow, two or more polls have to be conducted at different times.
Then the results should show who is gaining and losing flow or if there is no flow in the race during the polling period.
The two polls, here, published six days apart were still conducted pretty much at the same time.
ASISA interviewed between March 24-26 and NOXA interviewed March 25-30.
So, the two polls are largely concurrent.

The DT earlier reported that at least Gallup, Greenberg, Penn & Schoen, Berland, and Asisa Research Group have polled so far in the DR presidential race.
Now, we can add Noxa to this incomplete list.
During the last week, Mr. Penn of Penn & Schoen, Berland became a political celebrity, of sorts, when Sen Clinton fired him as her top campaign consultant in her race against Obama for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. Contrary to Clinton's interests, Penn was a strategist in a legislative struggle for US Senate ratification of a FTA for the pro-imperialist and genocidal Uribe regime in Bogota which AFL-CIO, a key Clinton supporter, abhors.
The scandal last week disclosed Penn & Schoen, Berland's compensation from the Clinton campaign.
The firm bills at million dollars a month and had collected and banked 10 million dollars from Clinton.
I doubt if the same firm is working at a lower rate in the DR.

This "Market Group International," never heard of them, so I can't blame or praise them.
This Group is a little fuzzy on the interview period and fuzzy on the sufficiency of the number of respondents (generally you want somewhere between a 1000 and 2000), but if the poll is sound, it shows flow and the PRD gaining a lot of flow against Leonel.
But this "Group" is still out of the blue.

As the price of food rises and hungers grows, the poorer pieces of the DR electorate should break off from the three major bourgeois parties in the DR and look for political and ideological alternatives to the bourgeois leaders.
The US imperialists are counting on their absolute control of the Dominican military and police to keep the situation in hand.

If
http://www.elcaribecdn.com.do/art....1328BAE75834F4C420A&Seccion=3 is for real, then we finally got a race to look at.
If the PRD has anywhere near the support this bizarre poll shows, then the party should ... repeatedly demonstrate this surprise support in a series of huge turnout rallies.
This will help organizationally with GOTV on May 16.

Fernandez on "crisis of thought"
The concept of political debating is a non-existent concept in the Dominican political spectrum and President Leonel Fernandez plans to keep it that way. He argues that there is a crisis of thought in the DR. During his address to ANJE members, Fernandez said that for a debate to take place, his challengers would have to know how to conceptualize. "If you notice, there is a deficit of conceptualization and this is why a debate would be meaningless - it's ridiculous," he said. "There is a crisis of thought." Fernandez, quoted in Listin Diario, said that the point is to maintain a constructive dialogue to instruct the public, with a vision of the future. Fernandez added that he is trained as a criminal lawyer and is skilled at debating, but he insisted there is no point in debating when the opposition can only offer attacks and insults.
Is this guy full of himself or what.
Well here is another insult ; CHICKEN!

Fanjul-Vicini sticks to sugar
The Fanjul-Vicini Group will not produce ethanol fuel in the east because of decreasing sugar cane supplies. The Group will concentrate exclusively on sugar production. Engineer Jimmy Garcia Savinon, an executive with Etanol Dominicana, said sugar would be produced for the local and export markets. Garcia told Hoy that the only ethanol production project that would begin in the next few years would be in Boca Chica, an initiative with joint Brazilian and Swedish investment. Garcia explained that Fanjul-Vicini produce would need 4.5 million tons of sugar cane ethanol fuel, which is not feasible in the east.

Actually, it's not feasible anywhere.

you got that right saturn
From: United Kingdom
“Actually, it's not feasible anywhere.” .
Maybe they can finally modernize production facilities leading to efficient production of sugar.
(while productivity would increase, they would still fall short of 4.3 million tons)
