Venezuela: Majority
Support for Chavez
Caracas - Director of
the Social Research
Group (GIS 21) pollster,
former Finance Minister
Nelson Merentes, said on
Monday that Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez is
drawing over 70 percent
support from the people.
He told national
television that the
survey, carried out
September 29-October 6,
involved over 1,000
people, mainly in the
states of Miranda and
the Capital District.
Regarding the coming
regional elections for
governors and mayors,
the poll showed that the
people's main concerns
include unsafety,
garbage collection,
highway administration
and basic services.
Merentes urged party
organizations to promote
people's mobilization to
the polls, as it will be
a deciding factor to
settle widespread
political polarization. |
