This trend contrasts with the first measurements made by the same firm after the first round on May 29, in which the independent candidate obtained 52.5% of the vote and his leftist rival 44.8%.
This notable change was also reflected in the question “Who do you think will be the president?”
According to this study, 46.1% of Colombians believe that it will be Rodolfo Hernández while 44.4% believe that it will be Gustavo Petro, which represents a reduction of almost ten points in favor of the candidate of the left-wing alliance Historical Pact in less than two weeks.
From these data, it would seem that the presidential race tends to adjust and that the initial interest aroused by the real estate entrepreneur was giving way.
A trend also reflected in the growth of the blank vote, which went from 2.7% in the first measurements to 5.4% today.
Despite this wear and tear, the person known as the “engineer” or “tropical Trump” continues his intense electoral campaign on social networks – a space that he prioritized after rejecting the electoral debates in the media – and today proposed a ten-hour working day for the country, with barely thirty minutes of rest.
“Look Colombians, from 6 in the morning working, it’s not getting to drink wine and talk on the cell phone, go to the bathroom, no, working from 6 in the morning until 4 or 5 in the afternoon,” he said accompanied by his running mate, Marelen Castillo.
“We are going to work for Colombia, from 6 in the morning to 4 or 5 in the afternoon,” said the leader of the League of Anticorruption Governors, who in turn is accused of corruption.
However, he specified that the idea “is yet to be defined” and did not indicate to which sector it would be directed, the Europa Press news agency reported.
On June 19, Colombians are called to vote for Hernández, who surprisingly managed to reach the ballot, or for the winner of the first round and former mayor of Bogotá, Petro, who nevertheless seems to have reached his ceiling.
