January 19 marks the last day for publicizing election poll surveys. Four surveys have been released since January 15; all show a decisive win for Nayib Bukele and the New Ideas political party in the upcoming February 4 elections.
The survey results unmistakably indicate Nayib Bukele’s triumph in the presidential elections, securing a second term as president by garnering over 50% of the votes in the first round.
The surveys unequivocally indicate that the New Ideas political party will secure control of the country’s legislature. The only remaining question is whether they will attain all 60 legislative seats.
