Venezuela: A majority of state governorships will
be won by the oposition in regional elections this Sunday
WASHINGTON
Petroleumworld.com, November 21, 2008
New Poll Shows Hugo Chavez opposition candidates will win most states in regional elections
A poll released on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 by the Venezuelan firm
Consultores Asociados 2008 projects that good portion of state governorships will be won by candidates of the opposition in regional elections this Sunday. In some states, however, is not very clear race.
The poll finds that indicators suggest voting trends in the November 23rd
elections do not resemble those present in the previous presidential election in
December 2006, in which President Chávez won with 62.84% support.
States are put into three categories; those with a low probability of change in voter behavior that are "strongly consolidated" in favor of an Opposition or PSUV candidate, states that are fairly "consolidated," and others that will see "very close" electoral races.
Ten states are considered "strongly consolidated," and of these, ten are expected to be won byte opposition candidates. Eight states are considered "consolidated," and all in this category are probably to be won by opposition candidates - only few of them.
The most interesting states to watch this election will be Miranda, Sucre, Carabobo, Aragua, Tachira and Zulia. Consultores Asociados 2008 predicts that this races "strongly consolidated" in favor of the opposition.
