Keiko falls in pre-Election Polls

The latest survey from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú shows that in just one month Keiko Fujimori has fallen in ranking by at least six percentage points. The survey, which asks “if the [presidential] elections were held tomorrow, for whom would you vote for?” questioned residents of Lima and Callao.

Luis Castañeda, mayor of Lima, received the highest percentage of “votes” with 17 %, while Keiko followed him with 16%. Just a month earlier, she led the survey with 22% affirming they would support her with their vote. However, the sharp fall in her popularity, according to Fernando Tuesta, director of the Institute of Public Opinion of the PUCP, shows that “she was an impulse [to support] when her father’s presence occupied the majority of the political debate.”

The survey also showed that 55% of Limenians “will not vote under any circumstances” for Ollanta Humala. Keiko Fujimori is the next to follow Humala with 25% of those questioned affirming the aforementioned statement. Alan García is also shown to have an approval rating of 29%, while at least 65% of Limenians approve of his job as president.
