JOH favored to win November's election in Honduras
Ten months from now Hondurans will head to the polls to choose their next president. As of today, the top three candidates are three of the four that the country had to choose from in 2013: the National Party's Juan Orlando Hernandez, Anti-Corruption Party's Salvador Nasralla, and LIBRE's Xiomara Castro.
In a recent poll that asked respondents about their feelings towards each candidate, incumbent president Hernandez led with 55 percent. Nasralla came in second with 47 percent favorability. Finally, Castro came in a close third with 44 percent. It remains a three-person race, a race that should probably be two given what used to be a Honduran law against presidential re-election - the rationale for what was used to remove Manuel Zelaya in 2009.
Compared to 2013's presidential results, the main difference is that Castro and Nasralla have switched positions. Four years ago, Hernandez (37 percent) defeated Castro (29 percent) and Nasralla (13 percent) with the Liberal Party's Mauricio Villeda squeezed in between with 20 percent.
The poll was conducted between January 5 and 15 by CID/Gallup.
