Voters from the Frente Amplio and the Colorado Party are more satisfied than the October candidates, but there is more discontent with Valeria Ripoll.
The presidential formulas are one of the major issues of the first stage of the campaign once the primaries are over, precisely because of their formation and confirmation in all the parties in view of October. In this sense, the consulting firm Figure conducted a survey to determine the level of voter satisfaction with each of the vice presidential candidates.
The greatest satisfaction and least surprise was recorded among the electorate of Broad Front. For months before the primaries it was already known that whoever came second in the polarized election between Yamandú Orsi and Carolina Cosse would accompany the first in the formula. In this regard, the survey showed that 83% of Frente Amplio supporters are satisfied with the former mayor of Montevideo as eventual vice president, and only 9% were dissatisfied.
Among the major ruling parties, there were slightly more even responses between those who are happy with the formula and those who are not. Colorado Party, Likewise, a high number of supporters agreed that the second in the primaries, Robert Silva, will remain as a companion of Andres OjedaThus, 76% of those surveyed said they were satisfied with the pairing, compared to 8% who said they were dissatisfied.

In it National Partymeanwhile, is where there is the greatest discrepancy, possibly due to the unexpectedness of the announcement of Alvaro Delgado on the night of June 30, as well as by the political and union background of the white vice-presidential candidate, Valeria RipollThis is evident in the fact that only 56% considered the appointment to be appropriate, while 25% disagreed.
The popularity of the members of each formula
The Cifra survey also inquired about the popularity both from the presidential candidates and from their running mates. In this sense, among Frente Amplio voters, Orsi arouses the sympathy of 82% and Cosse of 55%. As for rejection, the vice-presidential candidate also has more negative numbers than the former mayor of Cannelloni, 32% versus just 9%.

In the ranks of the National Party, Delgado arouses the sympathy of 78%, and Ripoll only 36%, although the latter has a level of ignorance quite a bit older: more than 25% of those surveyed said they did not know her well enough to have an opinion on the matter, which gives her plenty of room to improve her image in October.
In the Colorado Party, meanwhile, almost all voters feel sympathy for Ojeda. Silva is also popular, with 61% of his electorate responding positively.
The three candidates are well received by the majority of voters of each party, and the winners of the three primaries have high levels of sympathy among their own people. This indicates that they begin the decisive stage of the campaign with the support of the vast majority of voters of their parties.
As for the vice-presidents elected, they have different levels of support (and visibility) in their parties, and all three have a positive balance. The majority of voters in the three political parties agree with the formula, and the elected figures are rejected by minorities.
