Study of polls shows a clear lead for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela’s presidential election race


ELECTIONS BRIEFING No 1 -                                
                                                       
14 AUGUST 2012

With just two months to go until Venezuela’s presidential elections on 7 October, a study of recent opinion polls has shown a clear lead for Hugo Chavez over his main rival Henrique Capriles Radonski.

The study shows Hugo Chavez has a lead of between 15-27% in each of the 8 polls examined (see table below).

The study is based on all polls published in July by the major polling companies that carry out polls in Venezuela (with data collected in the last week of June and during July 2012). 

It includes pollsters that had some of the most accurate final predictions for the two previous elections that determined whether Hugo Chavez would be Venezuela’s President. 


The strong lead for Hugo Chavez in these polls is consistent with the ongoing high satisfaction rating for his government which a range of polls have shown is regularly around 60%.

Commenting on the study carried out by the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign, Dr Francisco Dominguez, VSC Secretary, said:

“This study clearly shows that Hugo Chavez has a strong lead in the polls. 

Whilst the campaign of the other main contender for the presidency, Henrique Capriles Radonski, has sought to confuse the issue by claiming that the race is close, this is clearly contradicted by the data coming out from the major polling companies.

This lead ought to be reflected in the media’s coverage of the election. It certainly would be inaccurate for media coverage to claim that the race currently appears to be close.

This strong lead is also the backdrop against which there are concerns that some opponents of the current government are now preparing to try to de-legitimatize any Hugo Chavez victory by bringing into question the electoral process - despite Venezuela’s elections regularly being deemed free and fair by a broad range of international observers".

Roma, 07 de agosto de 2012 (MPPRE).- El presidente de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, es galardonado con el "Premio Internacional de Cultura Re Manfredi", por su loable labor a favor de la "Igualdad y la Economía Social".

El Premio Internacional es una fundación de voluntariado popular que nace en el año 1992 y que cuenta con el patrocinio y la colaboración de la Región de Puglia, de la Provincia y de la Cámara de Comercio de Foggia y de la ciudad de Mafredonia, en Italia. Las categorías del premio son: Poesía, Teatro, Periodismo, Literatura, Economía Social, Cinematografía, Investigación Científica, Moda y Deporte.

La distinción la recibe el embajador de Venezuela en Italia, Julián Isaías Rodríguez Díaz, en nombre del Mandatario venezolano, destacando que el Líder Bolivariano está llevando alegría su pueblo, "que es un pueblo que lucha de manera distinta con un presidente progresista".

El Gobierno Bolivariano desarrolla una serie de programas sociales, educativos, de salud, deportivos, laborales y culturales, que contribuyen a elevar la calidad de vida de la población más vulnerable y excluida históricamente, estableciendo parámetros de igualdad y desarrollo, bajando los niveles de pobreza extrema, políticas reconocidos por los organismos internacionales como el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo, PNUD.

El PNUD, en su último informe, señala a Venezuela como uno de los países con mayor desarrollo social, cumpliendo de esta manera con parte de las Metas del Milenio. FIN/ JASC con información de la Embajada de Venezuela en Italia.
