The following is an excerpt from the latest Alfredo Keller's survey, where this organization measured the popularity of President Chavez and compared it with the popular support of the indefinite re-election proposal in Venezuela.
According to the results of this study, Keller estimates the popularity of President Chavez at 52%, however, their measurements indicate that only 26% of the electorate agrees with the establishment of president's indefinite re-election in the Venezuelan Constitution.
This implies that chavism is very divided and that the sympathy of the Venezuelans for democracy is stronger than his affinity for President Chavez. That is, chavists and opponents make up a majority who understands that, in democracy, a person cannot remain indefinitely in the Presidency because of the risk that its mandate can become a dictatorship.
However, it should be noted that Chavez is not a man who accepts no for an answer. Attempting to counteract the unpopularity of his proposal, he will try to impose through fear, the purchase of consciences and the mobilization of their political machinery.
