Tras los resultados de la última encuesta de Conecta Asociados que elaboró en exclusiva para Perú.21, de los 25 partidos políticos que presentaron su lista parlamentaria, solamente 7 superarían la valla electoral para obtener representatividad en el Congreso, siendo lo más resaltante el empate técnico entre el APRA y Unidad Nacional con un 16% aproximadamente; mientras que el sondeo de CPI reveló las tendencias en el voto preferencial en el que también estos partidos obtendrían en Lima los primeros lugares de las preferencias electorales.

Alfredo Torres: Ollanta Humala’s Teflon

with 4 comments

During an interview with Cadena Peruana de Noticias, Alfredo Torres, general manager of APOYO Opinion y Mercado, argued that Ollanta Humala’s support base is unexpectedly strong. The candidate seems to enjoy a certain “teflon effect,” in the sense that the attacks against him have not had a major impact on voter intentions.
Torres also argued that Lourdes Flores’s campaign strategy may need some rethinking as a result of the 2 percent decline in support she has registered in the last poll. Internal disputes could weaken her candidacy. Moreover, she is not making concrete proposals like Alan Garcia and Valentin Paniagua.

APOYO’s reply to Controversy to Presentation of Data

without comments

apoyo_resultado real.jpg
Source: La República, 14 de febrero del 2006
The head of APOYO, Alfredo Torres, confirmed that the most recent poll, by calculating support for candidates according to the response by decided voters rather than all respondents, concealed a decline in support for Lourdes Flores. When her support is calculated based on all respondents, which is the methodology used in previous surveys, the gap between Flores and Humala narrows from 10 to seven percent.
Alfredo Torres, el director de la empresa encuestadora Apoyo Opinión y Mercados admitió que la interpretación del último sondeo, en el cual se contabilizaron solo los votos válidos no deja claro la caida de intencion de voto hacia Lourdes Flores. Si se hubiesen incluido los votos indecisos (representan 22%), la diferencia entre la candidata de Unidad Nacional y Ollanta Humala hubiese sido de 7 y no de 10 puntos. APOYO continuará en sus próximos sondeos contando únicamente el voto válido.

Preliminary Thoughts on the APOYO Poll

with one comment

Maxwell A. Cameron
February 12, 2006

In broad-brush strokes, the recent APOYO poll confirms the main trends that have recently been observable in the election process. The survey has been much anticipated because it covers both rural and urban areas, includes 2,000 respondents, was conducted by the most respected polling firm in Peru, and was commissioned and is distributed by the nation’s leading newspaper, El Comercio.
The poll finds that the candidacy of Ollanta Humala, which reached as high as 32 percent in the polls in early January, has stalled at around 25 percent. Front-runner Lourdes Flores has sustained a strong 10 percent point lead over Humala for the past fortnight, while García has flat-lined with about 17 percent support. Nothing here is especially unexpected.
The most novel and interesting information to be gleaned from the APOYO poll lies in the details.
In the first place, it is important to note what has not happened. Humala has not been destroyed by the allegations that he committed human rights abuses in Madre Mia in 1992 (for a summary of the allegations, see the commentary by Fernando Rospigliosi below). The last APOYO poll was conducted on Wednesday to Friday, the 25th to the 27th of January, shortly after the first denunciation of human rights abuses were aired by Panorama on Sunday January 22. Afterwards, on Sunday January 29, there were further reports in Panorama, Reporte Semanal. In addition, newspapers like La Republica carried stories on Humala’s alleged human rights abuses on the Sunday and Monday of February 5-6. Peru.21 also published photos of Humala in Madre Mia on Tuesday and Wednesday of February 7-8, which coincides with this poll (conducted on Wednesday to Friday, February 8-10). Notwithstanding the seriousness of these denunciations, the support for Humala has dropped by only 2 points between the two polls. It may have dropped more if the January 27 poll, conducted only in cities, underreported support for Humala.
Only 9 percent of those who were interviewed had not heard the allegations against Humala. 41 percent said they thought the accusations were true, while 28 percent thought they were false, and 22 percent did not answer the question. Here there is clearly room for hardening of opinion—either in the direction of greater conviction that Humala is guilty or that he is innocent or it does not matter.
The gap between Humala and García has narrowed from 11 to 8 percent, as Humala has slipped from 27 to 25 percent and García has risen from 16 to 17 percent. There is now a race for second place between these two candidates (see commentary in La Republica by Carlos Reyna below). This explains, in part, Humala’s attack on Garcia (he should step aside because he has already had the chance to govern) and García’s angry response (Humala should turn himself into the authorities for his human rights abuses).
Martha Chávez has consolidated her position as the number 5 candidate. She now has about 6 percent, placing her just behind Paniagua who has slid from 10 to 8 percent. Paniagua’s slide was predictable and may be irreversible. Chávez is unlikely to emerge as a strong contender, but she may be taking back Fujimorista votes that were bleeding to Humala at an earlier stage. Chávez may be taking a small number of feminine votes from Flores.
Flores is the front-runner almost entirely by virtue of her popularity with women. She has a whopping 43 percent of the female vote, while Humala is the narrow front-runner among men with 31 percent of the male vote. Gender is turning out to be a major factor in this election. Flores also has a big plurality of the youth vote (40 percent of those between 18 and 24 years of age), and has 43 percent of the support of those living in Lima, compared with 20 percent for Humala in the metropolitan capital.
If gender is a factor, so is region. Humala is strongest in the southern and central highlands and the jungle, where he has 44, 36 and 30 percent respectively. Flores dominates Arequipa and the southern coast, and does well in the northern highlands, with 40 percent and 28 percent respectively. García’s strength remains in the “solid north,” the only place where he is in contention for first spot with 30 percent. Overall, the support for Flores across the country is impressive. Only in the southern highlands is she really behind with only 20 percent (less than half Humala’s support).
The battlegrounds regions are: the north (Flores vs. García); the northern highlands (all three front runners are close); the central highlands (Humala vs. Flores); and the jungle (Flores vs Humala).
Perhaps more than gender and region, however, the polarization in this election is around class. As one moves from the wealthier to the poorer strata (from groups A to E in the categories used by public opinion polling), support for Flores gets weaker–from 65 percent in A, to 44 percent in B, and roughly one third (between 33 and 31 percent) of the vote in the groups C through E. The inverse holds for Humala. He has the support of only 6 percent in A, 15 in B, and between 23 and 32 percent in C through E. The war between Humala and Flores will be fought by votes in C, D, and E, the vas majority of the electorate.
There is something about the socioeconomic breakdown of this poll that is puzzling. For all the candidates except Humala and Flores, the overall level of support is something roughly equivalent to the mean score in the votes in sectors D and E. For example, Paniagua has 9 percent in D, 7 percent in E, and his overall support is 8 percent. The same is true for Chávez and García. Yet the overall support for Humala and Flores is closer to the mean between groups C and D. Flores has 35 percent overall, which is slightly above the mean of her vote in sectors C and D. I am a little surprised that she has 35 percent overall when she does not reach that level in C, D, or E. Her overwhelming support in sectors A and B must explain the difference. Humala, on the other hand, has an overall support level of 25 percent even though his support in sectors D and E (presumably the largest groups) is 29 and 32 percent.
The obvious question is how well does the sample map onto the actual socioeconomic structure of the country?

Contradictions among Polls

without comments

Serious doubts are being raised about the validity of polls in this election campaign. A recent poll by the Catholic University placed Lourdes Flores at 38 percent in Lima and Callao. This is a level of support significantly higher than what other polls have found. Polls have a checkered history in Peru, in part because the deep cleaveages in Peruvian society exacerbate the different results that are obtained according to who is polled, where and how they are polled, who asks the questions, how the questions are framed, and what the respondent thinks the pollster wants to hear. Nonetheless, the high level of support for Flores in Lima seems intuitive, in part because Flores seems to have become a sort of default option for many voters.
An interesting editorial by Mirko Lauer in La Republica today picks up this theme. He suggests that Flores has benefited from a migration of voters from other candidates as they falter. Her challenge is to retain these votes over the rest of the campaign.

Augusto Alvarez Rodrich on Quality of Polls

with one comment

Augusto Alvarez Rodrich says there are phoney polls circulating these days. We should all take note. Alvarez Rodrich has a solid reputation as an analyst, and these are deeply troubling accusations. While shocking, such claims are not entirely surprising; even the best polls are often conducted in a manner that is less than fully transparent. That said, there appear to be particular problems with the IDICE poll. The story we quoted from La Republica raised questions at about the remarkably large size of the sample. Other survey researchers have also raised questions.

APOYO December 3-8, 2005 National Survey: Humala surges

without comments

Ollanta Humala surges to second place (22%), only 3 points behind Lourdes Flores (25%). Flores has consolidated the female vote, is perceived as the candidate most able to promote education and investment, and interested in helping people. Humala is perceived as the “law and order” candidate with a direct connection with people. We have to watch Humala to see if he can win the “trust and faith” of the masses that Max Weber saw as characteristic of Caesarist leaders.
