From 5 to 25 January 2009, we made the following question to the visitors of our Spanish website Morochos.org:

Do you agree with the constitutional amendment that Hugo Chavez wants to allow indefinite presidential reelection in Venezuela?

These were the results:

- Yes, 22.83%

- No, 77.17%

Observations:

During the first days of this survey, the percentages of "Yes" and "No" were 35% and 65% respectively. At that time, Chavez was proposing to allow indefinite reelection for the President only.

Then came the second version of the amendment, which seeks to approve indefinite reelection for all popular elected offices in Venezuela. Since then, we note that the votes for the "No" were intensified and took advantage, putting the proportion at 73% for the "No" and 27% for the "Yes". So we could say that the idea of indefinite reelection for all provoked more rejection among our visitors than the original proposal.

Also, another thing we noticed during the implementation of this test on the Internet, was that as time passed, the rejection of the Chavez's amendment was more marked, until the publication date of this report.
