El Salvador Election Poll

A new public opinion poll from Gallup shows FMLN presidential candidate Mauricio Funes with a 21-point lead over the candidate for the ruling Arena party and former National Civil Police director Rodrigo Ávila. Funes stands at 41 percent and Ávila at 20 percent, with about one third of voters undecided.

The election is in March 2009.  The same poll puts Salvadoran President Elías Antonio Saca's approval rating at 36 percent. Salvadoran news site ContraPunto dissects the poll results.
