Polls for Bolivia's presidential election

Next December 6, Bolivians will go to general elections in order to elect president and parliament. In this election, according to Bolivia's new constitution, the current president may seek re-election. Something that seems quite possible considering the latest opinion poll.

We refer to the survey conducted by Unitel, which puts Evo Morales with 52% of the voting intentions, while his nearest rival -Manfred Reyes Villa- barely reaches 22%. Then follows Samuel Doria Medina with 10% of the electorate. This study was done from October 29 to November 6, and has a margin of error of 2.4%.

However, while Evo Morales will surely be reelected, two factors that stain his administration are his authoritarian style and his closeness to Hugo Chavez. What has led, for example, to handle erroneously the disagreement with his opponents, and has questioned the sovereign status of his government. Errors that will hurt him in the near future unless they are amended.
