Latest polls show FMLN strength
The latest poll by the daily paper El Mundo showed the FMLN with a measurable lead in the voting preferences of Salvadorans. The paper surveyed some 1258 Salvadorans in 58 municipalities across the country. In the race for president, the paper reported 33% planned to vote for the FMLN's Mauricio Funes while 22% planned to vote for Rodrigo Avila of ARENA with a third undecided.
In other results published in the paper, regarding the elections for deputies in the National Assembly, 37% said they would vote for the FMLN compared to only 20% for ARENA. A third of those polled were undecided.
Finally, the paper's polling figures in San Salvador also show the FMLN with the advantage in the campaign for mayor, with Violeta Menjivar likely to be re-elected.
Showing a high level of interest in the upcoming elections, 75% of Salvadorans interviewed plan to cast votes in the 2009 elections.
A poll published by the very conservative El Diario de Hoy in July, found that Funes only lead Avila by 37% to 30%. A poll by La Prensa Grafica in late July put the spread at 31.1% for Funes to 24.8% for Avila. Ernesto Rivas, in his blog makes the argument that the media polls generally show partiality and thus he plans to ignore them and only comment when the local universities release polling results. Perhaps I should do the same.

Vota FMLN en el 2009.
ARENETO Rivas opinion's shouldn't be considered as reliable since his blog is financed and sponsored by ARENA.
Who doesn't know ARENETO is giving some pushings to the Cuilio Dundón? hahaha... if you haven't seen that famous picture you can go to Samuel's Blog and you'll laugh as hell.
Anyways, on 2009 all ARENARCONAZIS are leaving Casa Presidencial to it's best guest Mauricio Funes.
belive the extreme right Poll/ Admision of defeat. won't be suficient to the fact of FUMES advance............Some times I Really Wonder About YOU.......
What else do U Want, What else do U expect???? No convince.No wonder You are not One of US...You are Not a Salvadorean . I dont |Fucking Care If U Not Convince
All polls are confirming this trend, and mainly all salvadoreans are showing their notorious support.
I used to vote for arena but i've changed my mind after 19 years of poverty for all my people back in E.S.
I have to add that as I did, a lot of salvadoreans are not affraid of a change to the left and will vote for the FMLN on 2009.
